Ignoring sex and gender analysis can lead to inaccuracies, research inefficiency, and difficulties generalizing results. At the same time, integrating sex, gender, and/or intersectional analysis into science can lead to discovery and innovation. See 42 examples: genderedinnovations.stanford.edu

Integrating sex, gender, and intersectional analysis into the design of research, where relevant, can lead to discovery and improved research methodology. Sex and gender analysis improves science and engineering. Nature, 575, 137-146; Intersectional analysis for S&T. Nature, 640, 329-337.

We also found that when new participants enter traditional disciplines, such as History, new questions were asked. Diversifying history: A large-scale analysis of changes in researcher demographics and scholarly agendas. PLoS One, 17(1), e0262027.

Gender diversity may also spark new discoveries by broadening the viewpoints and questions asked by researchers. Nielsen et al. (2018) Nature Human Behavior.

Diverse teams aren’t a burden to good science. Well-run research teams enhance modern scientific investigations.
But “diversity in” does not automatically lead to “creativity out.” Careful management is required to maximize the benefits of diversity. PNAS, 114(8), 1740-1742.

“In a world where up is down and down is up, Ignorance Unmasked brings to bear the power of history to dismantle systematically perpetuated ignorance, with each chapter revealing surprising insights into how our world has been built—accidentally and intentionally—to deceive us.” — Yogi Hendlin

“Agnotology, [the] science of generating ignorance,
has become the most important discipline of the day.”
— Bruno Latour, Sciences Po, Paris
