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.
