How academic disciplines are represented and reproduced is a charged issue. In geography in particular, the challenge is not only who counts, especially with regard to gender and other factors, but also how the boundaries of the discipline are drawn and which subfields are acknowledged. This article contributes to both aspects of the discussion by extending recent research on gender, internationalization, and academic gatekeeping to additional subfields of human geography. In particular, we focus on the demographic structure and international diversity of the editorial teams of flagship quantitative geography journals. We find that women are underrepresented in our sample, with shares ranging from 23.1 to 43.5 percent—numbers unfortunately comparable to many other geography journals. We also find that career stage is an important factor and that our sample is more international and less Anglophone than the disciplinary norm. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of attending to issues of inclusive gatekeeping in geography and elsewhere.

谁算?性别、守门人和定量人文地理学

如何代表和复制学科是一个有争议的问题。特别是在地理学中,挑战不仅在于谁重要,尤其是在性别和其他因素方面,还在于如何划定学科界限以及承认哪些子领域。本文通过将最近关于性别、国际化和学术把关的研究扩展到人文地理学的其他子领域,为讨论的两个方面做出贡献。我们特别关注旗舰定量地理学期刊编辑团队的人口结构和国际多样性。我们发现女性在我们的样本中代表性不足,比例从 23.1% 到 43.5% 不等——不幸的是,这一数字与许多其他地理期刊相当。我们还发现职业阶段是一个重要因素,与学科规范相比,我们的样本更国际化,更少讲英语。最后,我们强调在地理和其他地方关注包容性把关问题的重要性。
