Education and professional history edit

Fox received a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in Sociology from The University of Michigan. She became a faculty member at Ivan Allen College of Georgia Institute of Technology in 1993.[1][2] Fox spearheaded the proposal for Georgia Tech's NSF ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant.[1][2] She was Ivan Allen College ADVANCE Professor (2001-2021).[1] Additionally, she is the co-director of the Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology at Georgia Institute of Technology.[3][4]

In 2002, she was awarded the Women in Engineering Pro-Active Network's Betty Vetter Award for Research for notable achievement in research regarding women in engineering.[5] In 2015, she received an award as "Section Star" from the Science, Knowledge, and Technology Section of the American Sociological Association. On September 16, 2016, Fox received the "Gender Equity Champion Award" for her research and commitment to gender equity.[6][4] In 2017, she won the Ivan Allen College Distinguished Research Award[3] and the Faculty of the Year Award of the Student Government Association. She was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2017.[1] In 2020, she was elected Chair of the Section on Social, Economic, and Political Sciences of the American Association for the Advancement of Science[7] and in 2022 named member at large of the Section.

She brings to the national forefront issues of diversity and equity in science through her work with advisory boards and panels including those as: Member (and twice past chair) of the Social Science Advisory Board, National Center for Women and Information Technology; Council Member (twice elected), Section on Science, Knowledge, and Technology, American Sociological Association;[8] Advisory Board, Expanding Computer Education Pathways Alliance; Editorial Board Member of the leading journal, Social Studies of Science; and recently elected member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Electorate Nominating Committee, Division on Social, Economic, and Political Sciences, and elected to the AAAS Nominations Committee (at large).

Research edit

Fox's research has introduced and established ways in which the participation and performance of women and men reflect and are affected by social and organizational features of science and academia.[9] She has addressed these complex processes in a range of research encompassing education and educational programs, collaborative practices, salary rewards, publication productivity, social attributions and expectations, academic careers, and features of the research specialty of women, science, and engineering.

Her work has shaped understandings of:

  1. ways that team composition, modes of collaboration, work practices, and work climate explain publication productivity—including exceptional performance—among scientists (Fox and Mohapatra, 2007).
  2. individual and organizational factors that predict “being prolific in science” (Fox and Nikivincze, 2021).
  3. distinguishing bibliometric features of the research specialty of women, science, and engineering, including the use of "sex" and "gender" in publications over time (Fox et al., 2022).
  4. relationships between family characteristics and publication productivity among women and men in academic science that go beyond being married or not married and the presence/absence of children and that address the effects of type of marriage (first or subsequent, and occupation of spouse) and type of family composition (age/stage of children) (Fox, 2005).
  5. patterns and predictors of work-family conflict in academic science that both vary, and converge, by gender in unexpected ways, with implications for building institutions that support strong scientific work forces (Fox et al., 2011).
  6. types of programs—organized initiatives intended to open pathways—for undergraduate women in science that do (and do not) support attainment of women as majors in science and engineering (Fox et al., 2009; Fox et al., 2011).
  7. social and organizational features of departments, research groups, and advisor-advisee relationships that influence the proportions of doctoral degrees awarded to women in science and engineering (Fox, 2000).

Contributions to sociology of science edit

Fox devoted many years of her work to the sociology of science being one of the founders of the subfield of gender, science, and academia. Using Merton's (1961/1973) concept of "strategic research sites," she has argued that science and academia are "strategic research sites" for studies of gender and inequality.[10] Both gender relations and science are hierarchically structured. Gender hierarchy is constituted by processes where men and women are "differentially ranked and evaluated" (Fox, 2004) and science "reflects and reinforces gender stratification" (Fox, 1999, 2001, 2007). In her studies of scientific indicators, she demonstrated stratification of academia by field, gender, rank, and publication productivity. In her studies of scientific education, careers, and workplaces, she identified social and organizational characteristics of work that relate to participation, publication productivity, and performance in science and academia.
