Gender inequality in academia: Problems and solutions for women faculty in STEM

Bettina J. Casad et al.

Summary: The underrepresentation of women in STEM fields, along with negative gender stereotypes, lack of social capital, and hostile academic climates, hinders women's career opportunities and contributes to their departure from academia. Interventions such as recruiting diverse applicants, promoting women faculty networks, and educating male faculty on gender bias are recommended to address these issues and advance gender equality in STEM.

Mapping social exclusion in STEM to men's implicit bias and women's career costs

Emily N. Cyr et al.

Summary: This study explores the social exclusion faced by women in male-dominated STEM fields, finding that male gender stereotypes can impact social connections with female teammates, leading to poorer career fit and engagement for women. Women are more likely to experience negative workplace outcomes under cross-gender social exclusion, and the effects of social exclusion are distinct from respect.

Creating leadership collectives for sustainability transformations

O. Care et al.

Summary: Enduring sustainability challenges require a new model of collective leadership that promotes critical reflection, inclusivity, and care. This shift in academia towards a focus on merit over metrics, caring over career, and inter- and trans-disciplinary research is crucial for fostering future leaders who can reimagine how to lead collectively with a focus on people and the planet. Academic organizations must reorient their training programs, work ethics, and reward systems to encourage collective excellence and create space for the development of these new leaders.

Women and Global South strikingly underrepresented among top-publishing ecologists

Bea Maas et al.

Summary: The study found that only 11% of the top-publishing authors in leading ecology, evolution, and conservation journals between 1945 and 2019 were women, and authors from countries in the Global South were underrepresented. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Canada accounted for over 75% of top-publishing authors. The number of women and authors from the Global South is slowly increasing over time.

Five Questions to Understand Epistemology and Its Influence on Integrative Marine Research

Katie Moon et al.

Summary: Developing solutions for complex marine and coastal social-ecological issues requires new forms of knowledge production and integration. While progress has been made in producing integrated marine research and connecting that knowledge to decision-makers, challenges remain that hinder successful implementation of integrated research practices. Understanding and reconciling different epistemologies in various disciplines is identified as a key barrier to successful integrative marine research.

Persistent gender bias in marine science and conservation calls for action to achieve equity

Sylvaine Giakoumi et al.

Summary: Research indicates that while there is relative gender balance in early career stages, there is a significant gender imbalance in senior positions. Most marine scientists are aware of gender bias and believe that increasing fairness in evaluations and supporting work-life balance are crucial for promoting gender equality.

Strategies for building and managing 'trust' to enable knowledge exchange at the interface of environmental science and policy

C. Cvitanovic et al.

Summary: Trust is crucial for successful knowledge exchange between environmental scientists and decision-makers, yet it is dynamic and fragile. Building trust requires time and effort but can be easily lost. Successful knowledge exchange and research impact require trust on multiple levels, including trust in individuals, organizations, and the knowledge exchange process.

Summary: Success and impact metrics in science are currently biased and perpetuate sexist and racist rewards. Shifting to a new value system based on principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion is essential, along with multidimensional mentorship and prioritizing mentee well-being. This paradigm shift in scientific values requires collaborative efforts and essential systemic changes supported by academic leaders and administrators.

Ten Considerations for Research Funders Seeking to Enhance Knowledge Exchange and the Impact of Marine Science on Policy and Practice

Christopher Cvitanovic et al.

Summary: Research funders can support the integration of marine science into policy and practice, but there is a lack of guidance on specific actions they can take. A case study of the Lenfest Ocean Program explored the impacts of funded research projects, highlighting the complexities of research impact and the ways LOP has supported these impacts. Researchers should consider various factors when seeking to enhance the impact of marine research on policy and practice.

Trends in the Representation of Women Among US Geoscience Faculty From 1999 to 2020: The Long Road Toward Gender Parity

Meghana Ranganathan et al.

Summary: Inequities persist in the geosciences, with women and people of color under-represented in academic faculty, especially in positions of power. A study evaluating the proportion of women in tenured and tenure-track geoscience faculty in the US found that women comprise 27% of faculty, decreasing with higher ranks. The concept of fractionation factor is introduced to quantify the attrition of women in academia and suggests a need for 1:1 gender hiring to achieve parity. Efforts to address biases in institutional culture and promotion practices may contribute to positive shifts in gender representation.

Gender equality is diluted in commitments made to small-scale fisheries

Sarah Lawless et al.

Summary: Gender equality is crucial for effective and equitable development outcomes in coastal countries, yet in the fisheries sector, the concept is often narrowed down to focus on women. Gender and development policy instruments, on the other hand, consider gender as diverse social identities and relations. The pursuit of gender equality in fisheries policy instruments is often driven by practical reasons rather than intrinsic values, with a focus on organizational human resourcing and project assessments.
