“Linguistic Inequity in Academic Philosophy: A Big Data Analysis of
Publication Trends (1975–2021)”</div><div><br></div><div><b>Abstract:</b> There
is a growing worry that authors from Non English-Speaking (NES)
countries face biases or unfair disadvantages in academic philosophy
publishing. In our talk, we use a big data approach to investigate this
worry. We collected meta-data from over 100,000 philosophy articles,
published in 223 English-language journals between 1975 to 2021. We used
two proxies to infer the native language of the author: the author’s
institutional address(es) and the location of the university that
granted the author’s PhD. We found that while NES authors are slightly
underrepresented in philosophy journals overall, this disparity becomes
more pronounced when focusing on top-tier journals, where NES
philosophers are significantly less represented than their native
counterparts. We propose and investigate potential explanations for this
finding, including: active discrimination; publishing cultures and
institutional incentives; and differences in productivity levels,
language quality, and areas of interest. To conclude, we discuss the
potential implications of our results for the discipline and the
publishing industry.<br><br><b>Short Bios:<br></b><br></div><div>Lucien
Baumgartner is a PhD student at the University of Zurich. He works
primarily in experimental and theoretical Philosophy of language. His
research focuses on normative expressions in natural language, such as
thick concepts, dual character concepts, and normative generics. He also
works on integrating computational corpus analysis into experimental
philosophy.<br><br>Neri Marsili is a "Talent Attraction" Research Fellow
at UNED, in Madrid, where he is currently leading a 5-year
interdisciplinary project on online disinformation. His primary areas of
research include philosophy of language, epistemology, aesthetics, and
experimental philosophy. His work has been published in journals such as
Cognition, The Journal of Philosophy, Philosophical Quarterly, Mind
& Language, The Journal of Pragmatics, Philosophical Studies,
Synthese, and Analysis<br><br>Paul Rehren is a PhD student in philosophy
at Utrecht University. I work on various topics at the intersection of
the behavioral sciences and philosophy, including moral judgment and
reasoning, free will, punishment and moral progress. I'm also really
interested in methodology (both in philosophy and elsewhere), and in the
sociology of philosophy.<br><br>Zoom link for the talk: <a href="https://syracuseuniversity.zoom.us/j/94923504829" target="_blank">https://syracuseuniversity.zoom.us/j/94923504829</a><br><br></div><div>To catch up on previous talks in the series, please visit the LJS YouTube channel: <a href="http://youtube.com/@linguisticjusticesociety" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/@linguisticjusticesociety</a><br><br>For more details about, and to subscribe to, the LJS, please visit: <a href="https://hiw.kuleuven.be/ripple/research/linguisticjusticesociety" target="_blank">https://hiw.kuleuven.be/ripple/research/linguisticjusticesociety</a><br><br>Yours,<br><br></div><div>The
