  1. Gender and publishing in sociology.Kathryn B. Ward & Linda Grant - 1991 - Gender and Society 5 (2):207-223.
    As in other fields, scholarly publication in sociology is not only the key to career success but also the route by which feminist analyses and perspectives become known to others in the discipline. A growing literature has analyzed women's and men's rates of publication, but the gender politics of the prepublication production of research and gender differences in reputation building after publication remain underexplored. This report reviews the current state of knowledge about sociological publishing at three phases: prepublication, the publication-seeking (...)

  • The Impossible Science: An Institutional Analysis of American Sociology.Stephen Park Turner & Jonathan H. Turner - 1990 - Sage Publications.
    Tracing the history of American sociology since the Civil War, the authors of this important volume explain the field′s diversity, its lack of unifying paradigms, its broad, eclectic research agenda and its general weakness as an institutional force in either academia or the policy arena. They highlight the equivocal and often contradictory missions that sociologists prescribe for themselves and the variable nature of human, financial and intellectual resources available to the profession.

  • Gender-based pay gaps: Methodological and policy issues in university salary studies.Julia Mcquillan & Myra Marx Ferree - 1998 - Gender and Society 12 (1):7-39.
    Methodology is often a point of contention in gender-based salary studies. Although this debate seems at first to be merely about technical issues, it also has an important conceptual dimension. We argue that there are two competing implicit conceptions of discrimination, one institutional and the other individual, that underlie many such debates. We first contrast the preferred methodologies advanced by each side, the policy capturing approach and the flagging approach, and explore the theoretical meaning of their statistical models. We then (...)

  • From Scarcity to Visibility: Gender Differences in the Careers of Doctoral Scientists and Engineers.J. Scott Long - 2001 - National Academies Press.
    Although women have made important inroads in science and engineering since the early 1970s, their progress in these fields has stalled over the past several years. This study looks at women in science and engineering careers in the 1970s and 1980s, documenting differences in career outcomes between men and women and between women of different races and ethnic backgrounds. The panel presents what is known about the following questions and explores their policy implications: In what sectors are female Ph.D.s employed? (...)

  • Women, science, and academia: Graduate education and careers.Mary Frank Fox - 2001 - Gender and Society 15 (5):654-666.
    In the study of gender and society, science is a strategic analytic research site—because of the hierarchical nature of gendered relations, generally, and the hierarchy of science, particularly. Academic science, especially, is crucial to, and revealing of, status in science and society. This article focuses on three questions: What is the status of women in scientific careers and the role of graduate education in these careers? What are the implications for the analysis of gender? Where can we intervene, and how? (...)
