Call for Papers [Special Topic]

Discovering Gender Discrimination in Project Funding


The special topic calls for papers on Discovering Gender Discrimination in Project Funding and such papers will appear in the journal Studies in Sociology of Science as a special column.
Affiliated research area: Gender Discrimination, Data Mining, Classification

Description
Social discrimination, and in particular gender discrimination, can be hidden in many situations. In the academic world, the processes that can be suspected of hiding discriminatory practices are hiring and promoting, paper rejection/acceptance in conferences and journals, and project funding. As for the last issue, a few studies from social sciences have provided no evidence of discrimination in grant awarding between male and female applicants. However, such studies look for global differences in success, without considering the possibility that discrimination is not simply bound to the gender attribute in isolation. Instead, gender discrimination may pop up in specific contexts, or even in narrow niches. The discovery of such contexts is, on the contrary, one of the features of methodologies based on knowledge discovery.
