This article updates and broadens research undertaken eight years ago on the status of women in UK political science. As Bates et al. then argued (2012: 139-40), research on women in the discipline is important, not only because of issues of equality, justice and self-reflection within the discipline, but also because of the privileged role political scientists play in the creation and flow of knowledge about gender inequality and women’s underrepresentation in positions of power, as well as other important political issues more generally.
