Congratulations to Marian Sawer, Fiona Jenkins and Karen Downing for the publication of edited collection How Gender can Transform the Social Sciences: Innovation and Impact (Springer, 2020). This book turns a spotlight on gender innovation in the social sciences. Scholars across five disciplines– economics, history, philosophy, political science and sociology – demonstrate how paying attention to gender can sharpen the focus of the social sciences, improve the public policy they inform, and change the way we measure things.
