Cassidy SugimotoCassidy Sugimoto, a professor and the Tom and Marie Patton School Chair in the School of Public Policy, was interviewed for the article, 'The Giant Plan to Track Diversity in Research Journals', posted on February 23, 2022 on Nature.
An excerpt:
Still, Cassidy Sugimoto, an information scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta who worked on that study, says computational methods are largely incapable of addressing the most pressing questions about racial diversity and inclusion in science. This is because ethnicity is only loosely associated with family name (most obviously in the case of surname changes after marriage), and has many more dimensions than gender. “Race and ethnicity classification is infinitely more complicated than gender disambiguation,” she says.
