Research

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. As a recent ARC Virtual Visiting Scholar, she conducted 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.
