Whereas institutions are direct gatekeepers, professional organizations indirectly influence faculty, students, and publishers through journal outlets, networking opportunities, and recognition. Focusing on these entities, we aim to contribute to the discourse on gender equity and academic gatekeeping in the field of geography, traditionally dominated by men. We scrutinize the gendered power dynamics of gatekeepers in knowledge production and the privilege of certain voices. Analysis of gender representation among influential figures like AAG presidents, committees, honorees, and journal editorial teams forms the core discussion. Our findings highlight the strides made in advancing women in AAG leadership positions yet illuminate the unevenness of this progress. Enduring institutional biases and gender disparities persist, particularly evident in committee composition, honorees, and journal editorships within and outside the AAG. These results contribute to feminist critiques of academic gatekeeping and shed light on implications for geographic knowledge production. We discuss strategies for fostering diverse voices and equitable representation of social identities in geography to advance a healthier and more inclusive discipline. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
