2022, Jamie Lundine, Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, Dina Balabanova
Book Chapter In: Morgan, R., Hawkins, K., Dhatt, R., Manzoor, M., Bali, S., Overs, C. (eds) Women and Global Health Leadership. Springer.
Within academia, publishing in peer-reviewed journals is key to success and promotion and a pathway to leadership. Jamie Lundine, Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, and Dina Balabanova analyze the academic publishing sector, its systems, and the roles of editors and reviewers in supporting or undermining gender equity and offer recommendations for change.

The objective of this review is to describe the global evidence of gender inequity among individuals with appointments at academic institutions that conduct health research, and examine how gender intersects with other social identities to influence outcomes.
Gendered geography: an analysis of authors in The Lancet Global Health
(Open Access)
2019, The Lancet Global Health
Rosemary Morgan, Jamie Lundine, Bridget Irwin, Karen A Grépin
In this open access paper, we conduct an automated bibliometric analysis by extracting the full name, author rank, and country affiliation for the authors of articles published in The Lancet Global Health (excluding corrections and editorials) from its launch (June 1, 2013) to Dec 1, 2018. Full names were used to approximate the authors genders using NamSor, an automated gender-matching software program. Country affiliations were extracted from the author affiliations and matched to the 2018 World Bank income classification system for countries. If authors reported institutional affiliations in more than one country, for country association calculations we counted authors in each of their reported countries. Author rank was determined based on the order in which the authors were listed in the manuscript.
"I don't see gender": Conceptualizing a gendered system of academic publishing
(Open Access)
2019, Social Science & Medicine
Jamie Lundine, Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, Ketevan Glonti, Eleanor Hutchinson, Dina Balabanova
Academic experts share their ideas, as well as contribute to advancing health science by participating in publishing as an author, reviewer and editor. The academy shapes and is shaped by knowledge produced within it. As such, the production of scientific knowledge can be described as part of a socially constructed system. Like all socially constructed systems, scientific knowledge production is influenced by gender. This study investigated one layer of this system through an analysis of journal editors' understanding of if and how gender influences editorial practices in peer reviewed health science journals. The study involved two stages: 1) exploratory in-depth qualitative interviews with editors at health science journals; and 2) a nominal group technique (NGT) with experts working on gender in research, academia and the journal peer review process. Our findings indicate that some editors had not considered the impact of gender on their editorial work. Many described how they actively strive to be 'gender blind,' as this was seen as a means to be objective. This view fails to recognize how broader social structures operate to produce systemic inequities. None of the editors or publishers in this study were collecting gender or other social indicators as part of the article submission process. These findings suggest that there is room for editors and publishers to play a more active role in addressing structural inequities in academic publishing to ensure a diversity of knowledge and ideas are reflected.

Empowering women leaders in health: a gap analysis of the state of knowledge
(Open Access)
2018, The Canadian Journal of Physician Leadership
Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, Yvonne Emily James, Karen Lawford, Jamie Lundine
We know that the road to leadership for women is arduous and the pace is slower than anticipated, despite their increasing representation in the labour force. In Canadian health care, where women constitute over 80% of the workforce, their representation in leadership positions is low. In our project, Empowering Women Leaders in Health, we apply a gender lens to achieve transformative systemic gender equity change in these contexts through the increased participation, visibility, and advancement of women in leadership positions. In this paper, we provide an overview of the needs assessment we conducted, which forms the basis for the larger project. Across the health care, health sciences, and Indigenous health literatures, we know more about the barriers to than facilitators of women’s leadership. Where the literature describes an intervention, it is seldom evaluated. There is also a notable absence of information on how we can and need to engage men to be part of the solution and facilitate the inclusion of women leaders. The literature on women and Two Spirit leadership in Indigenous health is particularly sparse, which has produced an extensive knowledge gap in this sector. in the Canadian Journal of Physician Leadership, the official magazine of the Canadian Society of Physician Leaders
The gendered system of academic publishing
2018, The Lancet
Jamie Lundine, Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, Jocalyn Clark, Shirin Heidari, Dina Balabanova
Gender is a sociocultural and economic concept and an institutionalised system of social practices that translates into different experiences and uneven advantages for men and women at the individual, organisational, and societal levels. This system manifests as the persistent gender pay gap, endemic sexual harassment, and the proverbial glass ceiling limiting women's representation and advancement in social and economic life. Academia, including academic publishing, is not immune to this gendered system of social practices.

Youth and Digital Mapping in Urban Informal Settlements: Lessons Learned from Participatory Mapping Processes in Mathare in Nairobi, Kenya
2012, Children, Youth & Environments
Jamie Lundine, Primož Kovačič, Lisa Poggiali
There is growing interest in the integration of new technology and community development, particularly on the value that Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can add to community voices in setting development agendas. In the digital age, youth are emerging as leaders in capturing, packaging, and sharing information about their communities. Yet, there remains little documentation of the connection between in-depth field work with youth, new technology, and community development. To that end, this field report documents experiences of working with youth to map their community in the informal settlement of Mathare in Nairobi, Kenya. These youth created the first open data map of Mathare. The initiative—referred to locally as Map Mathare—offers key insights into how youth from urban informal settlements can utilize GIS technology to further their own development agendas. These youth can be engaged to work with community leaders and development practitioners to create valuable information to inform community development efforts.
Conflit and human African Trypanosomiasis
2011, Social Science & Medicine
Lea Berrang-Ford, Jamie Lundine, Sebastien Breau
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) has reemerged in sub-Saharan Africa as a disease of major public health importance. The success of HAT elimination in sub-Saharan Africa is subject to the feasibility of controlling, eliminating, or mitigating the determinants of incidence in affected countries. Conflict has been widely recognized and cited as a contributing factor to the resurgence of HAT in many countries, as well as to continuing HAT incidence in politically unstable and resource-poor regions. Despite extensive anecdotal and qualitative recognition of the role of conflict, there has been no quantitative research of this topic at the population level in affected African countries. We characterize the qualitative and quantitative associations between HAT incidence and conflict-related processes in HAT-affected African countries over the past 30 years. HAT and conflict-related data were collected for 35 affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the years 1976-2004. Descriptive and univariate inferential statistics, as well as negative binomial regression modeling, are used to assess the associations between HAT and conflict. A space-time scan statistic is used to identify significant incidence clusters. Clusters of HAT incidence over the past 30 years have predominantly coincided with periods of conflict or socio-political instability. HAT cases occurred significantly more often in countries and during years with conflict, high political terror, and internationalized civil war. The results indicate a lag period between the start of conflict events and a peak in incidence of approximately 10 years. We recommend explicit consideration and quantification of socio-political measures such as conflict and terror indices in GIS (Geographic Information Systems)-based risk assessments for HAT policy and intervention.
