  • Contested Diversity? The Institutionalization of LGBTQ-Supportive Features in U.S. Higher Education, 1980 to 2018

    Open Access•Hannah K D’Apice, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2026•References: 67

    This study seeks to understand the extent of and explanations for the institutionalization of sexuality and gender identity in U.S. higher education institutions (HEIs). Using original longitudinal data collected on a national probability sample of 234 four-year HEIs, covering 1980 to 2018, we examine whether and when HEIs establish two key lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) supportive features: LGBTQ resource centers and LGBT…

  • Armed conflict, student achievement, and access to higher education by gender in Afghanistan, 2014–2019

    Sajia Darwish, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Globalisation Societies and…•2024

    Using data from its national university entrance exam, we examined the relationship between armed conflict and student achievement in Afghanistan. Exploiting the province-year variation in exposure to conflict intensity, we estimated the relationship between conflict and exam results generally and by gender for all test takers from 2014–2019. Findings show that a one standard deviation increase in conflict intensity at the province-year level was…

  • Opportunities for Faculty Tenure at Globally Ranked Universities: Cross-National Differences by Gender, Fields, and Tenure Status

    Open Access•Mana Nakagawa, Christine Min Wotipka et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Science•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 19

    Drawing on a unique data set of almost 12,000 faculty members from 52 globally ranked universities in four fields (sociology, biology, history, and engineering), this study describes and explains gender differences in tenure among faculty across 13 countries. In our sample, women comprise roughly one-third of all faculty and only 23 percent of tenured faculty, with significant variation across fields and countries. Findings from a series of multi…

  • A milestone in the pursuit of gender equality: Predicting first women presidents in U.S. higher education institutions, 1980–2018

    Open Access•Hannah K D’Apice, Jieun Song et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 21

    While women’s higher education enrollments and graduation rates have outpaced those of men in the United States and most countries around the world, women are less frequently included in academic leadership roles, including the higher education presidency. This paper asks what predicts whether and when a higher education institution has its first woman president, conceptualizing this event as a milestone of gender equality. We use a national prob…

  • To STEM or not to STEM: A cross-national analysis of gender and tertiary graduates in science, technology, engineering, and math, 1998–2018

    Open Access•Lee, Seung-Ah Lee et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 16

    The comparative literature on gender and higher education has increasingly focused on differences in access to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We contribute to this literature through a cross-national analysis of STEM graduates by gender between 1998 and 2018 across 90 countries. Many earlier studies emphasize the positive influence of a global liberal culture on women. More recent scholarship contends that women …

  • Women's participation and challenges to the liberal script: A global perspective

    Open Access•J C Lerch, Evan Schofer et al.•ARTICLE•International Sociology•2022•Cited by: 22•References: 41

    Existing scholarship documents large worldwide increases in women's participation in the public sphere over recent decades, for example, in education, politics, and the labor force. Some scholars have argued that these changes follow broader trends in world society, especially its growing liberalism, which increasingly has reconfigured social life around the choices of empowered and rights-bearing individuals, regardless of gender. Very recently,…

  • “Participation Does Not Equal Voice”: Gendered Experiences in an Academic and Professional Society

    Emily Anderson, Emily W Anderson et al.•ARTICLE•Comparative Education Review•2021

    “Male culture” strongly persists in academic and professional societies, including at annual conferences and meetings, where women-identifying individuals report facing various forms of sexual harassment, discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. This study goes beyond parity metrics to innovate the monitoring of gender by analyzing gender inequalities and inequities in the space of an academic and professional society and its annual meetin…

    Christine Min Wotipka, Joseph Svec et al.•ARTICLE•Compare A Journal of Comparative…•2021•References: 16

    Via a cross-national and longitudinal analysis, this study seeks to understand whether and to what extent school textbooks portray children as entities with status and agency. Our core argument is that in a world in which individuals are imagined as central to national progress, the extension of individual personhood and citizenship to children is associated with their increased status and enhanced agency. Using 495 textbooks from 76 countries, w…

  • Effect of LGBT anti-discrimination laws on school climate and outcomes for lesbian, gay, and bisexual high school students

    Xavier Fields, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Journal of LGBT Youth•2020•Cited by: 12•References: 6

    Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) high school students face challenges that impede their academic, social, and emotional well-being. School policies that provide resources and protections for LGBT students mitigate these challenges and lead to better outcomes for LGBT students. At the same time, LGBT individuals face challenges in sectors like employment protection and hate crime prevalence, and many states have passed laws that expa…

  • Students’ Understanding of the History of Enslavement in America: Differences by Race, Ethnicity, and Gender

    Magdalena H Gross, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•The Social Studies•2019•Cited by: 2•References: 6

    Students in the United States learn about the history of enslavement throughout their educational experiences. Yet our understanding of what students from different racial, ethnic, and gender backgrounds know about this difficult period in American history is limited. In this study, we use mixed methods to examine written narratives of students’ understanding of the history of enslavement in the United States. As a whole, narratives about enslave…

    Current literature on parent aspirations has not empirically explored the factors that may lead to differences in aspirations among similar types of parents. Additionally, little is known about the gendered nature of these differences. In this study, we seek to understand factors shaping mothers’ aspirations in regards to education, marriage, and careers of their daughters and sons, and to explore why differences may be found for mothers from sim…

    Despite the surge in women’s enrollments in higher education over the last several decades, women continue to be unequally represented in faculty careers around the world. In this article, we use data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to examine and explain regional and global trends in percentages of women faculty within 92 countries from 1970 to 2012. Drawing on world society and development per…

  • The Making of a Human Rights Issue: A Cross-National Analysis of Gender-Based Violence in Textbooks, 1950-2011

    Open Access•Garnett Russell, J C Lerch et al.•ARTICLE•Gender & Society•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 45

    In the past few decades, awareness around gender-based violence (GBV) has expanded on a global scale with increased attention in global treaties, organizations, and conferences. Previously a taboo topic, it is now viewed as a human rights violation in the broader world culture. Drawing on a quantitative analysis of 568 textbooks from 76 countries from across the world, we examine the extent to which this growing global attention to GBV has filter…

  • The rise, removal, and return of women: Gender representations in primary-level textbooks in Afghanistan, 1980–2010

    Somaye Sarvarzade, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Comparative Education•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 6

    Nearly four decades of instability and fragility have led to many changes in the status of women and girls in Afghanistan. Yet, little research focuses on these changes within the education system. To understand the country’s stance toward gender issues in formal practice, we examine gender representations in Afghan primary-level Dari language arts textbooks. Using a qualitative content analysis and longitudinal data, we examine how ideologies ab…

    Although early childhood care and education (ECCE) enrollments have expanded significantly around the world since the 1960s, little is known about the economic, social, and cultural drivers explaining this growth. Using country fixed effects and a sample of 117 countries, this study explores three predictors framing the growth of ECCE enrollments across countries and over time: economic development, improvements in women’s status, and country lin…

  • World society and human rights: An event history analysis of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women

    A worldwide human rights regime has emerged, expanded, and intensified throughout the twentieth century, especially in the post-Second World War era. This regime involves a global system of expanding organizations, social movements, conferences, rules, and discourse promoting the human rights of individuals. This regime is universalistic in aspiration: all humans are expected to be covered by the regime. This universalism involves a discursive an…

    This research seeks to understand the factors that lead nation‐states to ratify international human rights treaties in the contemporary world, despite their potential cost for state sovereignty. We argue that normative pressure from international society, along with historical contingencies during the Cold War, encouraged many states to ratify these treaties. We present an event‐history analysis of ratification of seven key international human ri…

    Hyeyoung Moon, Christine Min Wotipka•CHAPTER•Globalization and organization•2006

    The universalistic and standardized organizational forms resulting from globalization as argued in this volume have without a doubt caused dramatic changes in the business arena. Businesses regardless of nationality have come to be viewed as similar-organizational actors that share universal and standardized characteristics. Challenges for businesses are expected to call for similar solutions, i.e. new managerial knowledge and skills, and to be c…

    “Male culture” strongly persists in academic and professional societies, including at annual conferences and meetings, where women-identifying individuals report facing various forms of sexual harassment, discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization. This study goes beyond parity metrics to innovate the monitoring of gender by analyzing gender inequalities and inequities in the space of an academic and professional society and its annual meetin…

  • The status and agency of children in school textbooks, 1970–2012: A cross-national analysis

    Christine Min Wotipka, Joseph Svec et al.•ARTICLE•Compare A Journal of Comparative…•2021•References: 16

    Via a cross-national and longitudinal analysis, this study seeks to understand whether and to what extent school textbooks portray children as entities with status and agency. Our core argument is that in a world in which individuals are imagined as central to national progress, the extension of individual personhood and citizenship to children is associated with their increased status and enhanced agency. Using 495 textbooks from 76 countries, w…

  • Women's participation and challenges to the liberal script: A global perspective

    Open Access•J C Lerch, Evan Schofer et al.•ARTICLE•International Sociology•2022•Cited by: 22•References: 41

    Existing scholarship documents large worldwide increases in women's participation in the public sphere over recent decades, for example, in education, politics, and the labor force. Some scholars have argued that these changes follow broader trends in world society, especially its growing liberalism, which increasingly has reconfigured social life around the choices of empowered and rights-bearing individuals, regardless of gender. Very recently,…

  • Armed conflict, student achievement, and access to higher education by gender in Afghanistan, 2014–2019

    Sajia Darwish, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Globalisation Societies and…•2024

    Using data from its national university entrance exam, we examined the relationship between armed conflict and student achievement in Afghanistan. Exploiting the province-year variation in exposure to conflict intensity, we estimated the relationship between conflict and exam results generally and by gender for all test takers from 2014–2019. Findings show that a one standard deviation increase in conflict intensity at the province-year level was…

  • Opportunities for Faculty Tenure at Globally Ranked Universities: Cross-National Differences by Gender, Fields, and Tenure Status

    Open Access•Mana Nakagawa, Christine Min Wotipka et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Science•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 19

    Drawing on a unique data set of almost 12,000 faculty members from 52 globally ranked universities in four fields (sociology, biology, history, and engineering), this study describes and explains gender differences in tenure among faculty across 13 countries. In our sample, women comprise roughly one-third of all faculty and only 23 percent of tenured faculty, with significant variation across fields and countries. Findings from a series of multi…

  • A milestone in the pursuit of gender equality: Predicting first women presidents in U.S. higher education institutions, 1980–2018

    Open Access•Hannah K D’Apice, Jieun Song et al.•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 21

    While women’s higher education enrollments and graduation rates have outpaced those of men in the United States and most countries around the world, women are less frequently included in academic leadership roles, including the higher education presidency. This paper asks what predicts whether and when a higher education institution has its first woman president, conceptualizing this event as a milestone of gender equality. We use a national prob…

  • To STEM or not to STEM: A cross-national analysis of gender and tertiary graduates in science, technology, engineering, and math, 1998–2018

    Open Access•Lee, Seung-Ah Lee et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2024•Cited by: 2•References: 16

    The comparative literature on gender and higher education has increasingly focused on differences in access to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We contribute to this literature through a cross-national analysis of STEM graduates by gender between 1998 and 2018 across 90 countries. Many earlier studies emphasize the positive influence of a global liberal culture on women. More recent scholarship contends that women …

  • Contested Diversity? The Institutionalization of LGBTQ-Supportive Features in U.S. Higher Education, 1980 to 2018

    Open Access•Hannah K D’Apice, Christine Min Wotipka•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2026•References: 67

    This study seeks to understand the extent of and explanations for the institutionalization of sexuality and gender identity in U.S. higher education institutions (HEIs). Using original longitudinal data collected on a national probability sample of 234 four-year HEIs, covering 1980 to 2018, we examine whether and when HEIs establish two key lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) supportive features: LGBTQ resource centers and LGBT…
