“…Research shows that double-blind reviews can ameliorate at least some discrimination against marginalised groups and regions (Tomkins et al, 2017;Kern-Goldburger et al, 2022;Fox et al, 2023;Smith et al, 2023) in addition to "home editor bias" (Rubin et al, 2023). Thus further steps such as triple-blind review, initialising nonfamily names on publications, and setting clear rank-related transparent salaries, as well as "family leave" rather than targeted maternity leave may help (Etzkowitz et al, 2020;Brodie et al, 2021). Reference letters can be written through forms that request targeted information relating to key skills, rather than an open-form unstructured recommendation letter.…”

Introduction: Most global biodiversity is in developing economies. Decades of capacity building should have built sufficient in-country capacity to develop biodiversity baselines; yet has effort provided the expertise to build these baselines?Methods: Grants and access to research opportunities are often linked to success in publishing, with the H-index providing the main metric of academic success. Recent compilations of “Top Researchers in Ecology and Evolution” included 5,419 researchers, but where these researchers are and how representative they are has not been well studied. We explored the global distribution of “Top Researchers in Ecology and Evolution” and explored the representation of Women, non-Caucasians, and non-Caucasian women, as well as the representation of “local” top researchers in different regions.Results: Over half Top Researchers in Ecology and Evolution are from just three countries (United States, United Kingdom, and Australia), and 83% come from 12 higher-income countries. Even in lower-income economies the majority of the few “high impact” researchers are originally from higher-income economies. Only China had a high proportion of their high-impact non-Caucasian researchers, with the majority of researchers coming from that region. Women were also underrepresented across the globe, only three countries had more than 20% of top-performing ecologists being female.Discussion: Ultimately, despite decades of capacity building, we are still failing to build in-country capacity for research or to provide sufficient support for female ecologists to publish and lead the field. Here we discuss why these issues persist, and how we might improve representation and access to opportunity and support for all groups, and provide the analysis needed to provide solutions to global challenges in biodiversity conservation, which require diverse representation to develop effective, and nuanced solutions.

“…In spite of the fact that some of the selected films cover the first and second periods of our study, it is important to include films from the last decade (2010-2020) since the technological and social revolutions that the world has witnessed changed a lot of people's perceptions of many things including gender roles (cf. Etzkowitz et al, 2010).…”

This study investigates the visual features of male characters of nine Disney animated movies taken from the last three decades 1990-1999, 2000-2009 and 2010-2019. Aley and Hahn’s (2020) framework of men’s portrayal (developed from Goffman, 1976) is applied. The qualitative analysis reveals that the physical appearance of Disney male characters has changed over time. Body image changed from an unrealistic large body with big muscles to a realistic body type with logical body proportions. Heroes started to be seen as powerful gentlemen rather than heroes with physical strength. Moreover, the heroes, especially in third decade, no longer depended on their physical attire to reflect their ranks. This shift may indicate a change of how people tend to see heroes. In term of masculine touch, male characters used to touch their female companions in a controlling manner. However, in the second and third decade, their touch started to change to protection rather than control. Finally, eye withdrawal remained the same over time because men withdrew their eyes for reasons connected to man’s nature and feelings.

U.S. women continue to be underrepresented in engineering. Based on seven years of longitudinal, qualitative data on high school-to-college pathways of high-achieving young women (n = 57)-many of whom were women of color from low-income families and all of whom expressed interest in engineering- we examine the economic, social, and cultural capital that affected their persistence in engineering, and we introduce the concept of "engineering capital." In this article, we focus on seven of these young women to examine how positioning in the hierarchy of U.S. society affected their ability to access, accumulate, and activate engineering-related capital in pursuit of college engineering and how relevant institutions responded to the women's efforts. We conclude that the coordination of capital, identity formation, and stamina necessary to pursue engineering is extremely difficult without the benefit of a highly privileged set of circumstances.
