From: Gender demographics of departmental seminar speakers reflect gender disparities of faculty hosts

Fig. 2

While graduate student gender demographics remained steady from 2015–2019, the fraction of female and nonbinary seminar speakers and faculty hosts has increased. A A simple linear regression was performed using departments A, B, C, D, E, and G for each year. Departments with n ≤ 10 for all years studied were excluded from analysis (Department F). The slopes of the linear fits for both speakers and faculty hosts were significantly non-zero (p < 0.0001 for speakers, p = 0.008 for hosts). Linear regression fit for speakers R2 = 0.481, linear regression fit for faculty hosts R2 = 0.241. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. N = 6 departments. B Graduate student gender demographic data collected in the fall quarter of each academic year for departments A, B, C, E, F, and G (Department D is not included in this comparison due to a low number of direct admits to the department, n ≤ 4). Data plotted as the fraction of students indicating “female” or did not disclose their gender identity (Female/DND), error bars represent standard error of the mean. N = 6 departments. C Data from B disaggregated by department. While the mean fraction of students identifying as female or choosing not to disclose their gender identity varies between departments, the fraction for each department has remained steady from 2015–2019. N = 6 departments
