Summary
Despite broad advances for women across society, there remains a persistent gender bias in the academy and in the social sciences in particular. This chapter describes a series of interconnected institutional practices that proscribe gender roles in the academy and cement women’s inferior status. These practices extend from the nuts and bolts of teaching and mentorship to performance evaluation, compensation, and opportunities to engage in university leadership. A broad body of evidence supports these arguments. Addressing this issue is not only a question of justice, but also one of advancing knowledge.
