Acknowledgments

Some of these case studies were initially written as papers for the Gendered Innovations in Social Sciences conference held in 2016 at the Australian National University. Other case studies were subsequently commissioned for a related website and eventually for this book. This volume forms one of the results of a research project led by Fiona Jenkins, titled Gendered Excellence in the Social Sciences (GESS), hosted at the Australian National University and funded by the Australian Research Council (DP150104449).
