Gendering the research pipeline: A quantitative feminist geographical approach

Women and gender minorities are underrepresented in positions of seniority in higher education (HE). Research on gender in HE varies in scale and methodology from large global surveys to smaller projects, with a noticeable gap of the experiences of ECRs and doctoral students, and how they vary from discipline-to-discipline, institution-to-institution, and department-to-department. We propose a new agenda by drawing together quantitative and feminist geography to focus on different ‘platial’ scales within HE, such as expanding the definition of gender and considering intersectionality, using open-source data, and using quantitative geography methods to develop a multi-scalar understanding of these dynamics
