The Pandemic Penalty: The Gendered Effects of COVID-19 on Scientific Productivity.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused myriad social changes throughout society, including in the academy. Reports of reduced productivity for faculty members, both anecdotal and data-driven, draw attention to the fact that the ivory tower is not immune from shocks to our most essential social systems. In fact, because of the clear metrics of productivity in faculty careers, academia makes for an excellent case study of how an exogenous shock affects institutional practices. Many of these changes are disproportionately affecting the productivity of women academics.
