讲座概要:

This paper investigates the amount of academic service performed by female versus male faculty. We use 2014 data from a large national survey of faculty at more than 140 institutions as well as 2012 data from an online annual performance reporting system for tenured and tenure-track faculty at two campuses of a large public, Midwestern university. We find evidence in both data sources that, on average, women faculty perform significantly more service than men, controlling for rank, race/ethnicity, and field or department. Our analyses suggest that the male-female differential is driven more by internal service—i.e., service to the university, campus, or department—than external service—i.e., service to the local, national, and international communities—although significant heterogeneity exists across field and discipline in the way gender differentials play out.

This research has garnered attention in the New York Times, Newsweek, and many other news outlets. The next step is to develop and implement strategies to fix the imbalance. If academic leaders pay attention to this issue and recognize its importance, it is something we can successfully address to improve the lives of women faculty.
