The late Wendy Robbins wrote extensively on the #gendergap in the distribution of research chairs (e.g.):

Excellence and Equity: Here we go again, @ideas_idees:
“In main street Canada it’s righteous to pit excellence and equity against each other. The research superheroes are mostly men, the story goes, with ‘rising star’ women coming up on the inside track” https://www.ideas-idees.ca/blog/excellence-and-equity-here-we-go-again
