“…It must be noted that academia is undoubtedly much more compartmentalized in the twentieth-fi rst century than it was in the fi rst half of the 1900s (cf. Backhouse & Fontaine, 2018;Cavalieri, 2016;Morgan & Rutherford, 1998).…”

This paper offers a quantitative study measuring, through citation analysis, the historical relationship between economics and the other social sciences (that is, anthropology, political science, psychology, and sociology). The exercise suggested here comprehends the period from 1959 to 2018 in order to understand both whether economics has opened more space for the other social sciences and, if so, the subtleties of this process. The paper also develops an original asymmetry measure for interdisciplinarity-the Coefficient of Interdisciplinary Asymmetry.

Este artículo realiza un breve estado de la cuestión de la investigación sobre la calidad institucional desde perspectivas sociológicas. Partiendo de la concepción de institución propia de esta disciplina, se han seleccionado dos grupos de trabajos que son útiles para conocer cómo los rasgos institucionales influyen en algunos aspectos de las organizaciones o agregados de ellas. En primer lugar, los estudios que se ocupan de la confluencia de elementos de la estructura social y la cultura en sectores de actividad de países o áreas territoriales, particularmente presente en la sociología del desarrollo. En segundo lugar, los trabajos que se centran más en la faceta cultural de las organizaciones. Aunque ambas corrientes comparten asunciones teóricas e intereses de investigación, están poco conectadas en la literatura que estudia las instituciones desde el punto de vista de su rendimiento social. Sin embargo, ofrecen resultados empíricos complementarios. A partir de su comparación se obtiene una aproximación de las aportaciones de la sociología al estudio de la calidad institucional, lo que a su vez facilita identificar retos para futuras investigaciones y colaboraciones con otras disciplinas.

“…This intimate interdisciplinary relationship is further illustrated by the origins of the American Sociological Association (ASA) which was launched during an American Economic Association (AEA) meeting in 1905 [14]. During the 19th and early 20th century, cross-disciplinary analysis of the economic and social lives of URMs began, in opposition to widespread disciplinary beliefs that Blacks were biologically and cognitively inferior and that their work was only "Negroes studying Negroes" [15,16]. Many URM scholars attribute the beginnings of social science in both economics and sociology to W.E.B.…”

Obstacles to Sustaining Diversity: Historical Context and Current Experiences of Underrepresented Minority Women and Men in Sociology and Economics

White men predominate in the top ranks of the professorate, but recent efforts have attempted to decrease inequality and increase diversity in the academy by hiring more faculty, especially women of color. Have equality and diversity efforts worked or has negative departmental climate limited efforts to make diversity sustainable? Despite the long history of and many contributions by women of color (URC) as public intellectuals, activists, and founders of organizations to promote Blacks and Latino/a people, we find that much of their work is still marginalized and is not viewed as legitimate science. This treatment may lessen the ability to increase equality and sustain diversity in academic institutions. The paper tests whether URC women scholars are still experiencing inequalities in comparison to their male peers of color in two disciplines, that of sociology and economics. We include these two disciplines because of similarities in origin and of topics. First, we hypothesize that women of color have significantly more negative experiences in sociology and economics departments than do men of color, when other conditions are held constant. Second, we hypothesize that structural conditions, are related to experiential outcomes for these scholars. Third, we hypothesize that participation in minority-oriented organizations improves women of color’s experiences. Fourth, we hypothesize that interacting gender with participation in minority-oriented organizations, significantly improves women of color’s situation. The study results show that women of color continue to experience greater problems of access, marginality, inclusion, and harassment in sociology and economics departments. The sustainable development goals of achieving gender equality and increase educational opportunities cannot be achieve without addressing these inequities and inclusion issues.
