Although the position of women in academia has, in many ways, greatly improved in recent decades, female scholars nonetheless continue to be under-represented in leadership positions, on conference panels, on editorial boards, and are less likely to be awarded studentships and research grants, or to have their work published in certain journals, and recent research has shown that although half of audience members of academic seminars are women, for every question asked by a woman, men ask 2-3 times as many on average.
