Dr. Gold is currently working as an Associate Research Scientist at Northeastern University working with PIs Kathrin Zippel and Laura Nelson on a project studying the diffusion of gender equity ideas in US higher education institutions (HEIs) through 20 years of the NSF ADVANCE program. She is currently an ARC Virtual Visiting Scholar, where she is conducting a meta-analysis about equity workers in universities. She is also working on several projects using the Evaluating Equity in Faculty Recruitment database, including a computational text analysis identifying engaged scholars in faculty application materials, and a network analysis of faculty applicants and hiring committee members using coauthor and citation data. As a mixed-methods researcher, she uses computational text and network analysis, quantitative statistical methods, and qualitative interviews to better understand gender and racial inequities in science and academic institutions.
