Yes, absolutely. You must be led to sources by the topic you're studying. I'd get really bizarre results if I tried to balance for eg genderhttps://twitter.com/Roran_Stehl/status/887277102680211456 …

Evening it up would result in something very contrived &it would be a real job to work it into my argument. Couldn't be good for scholarship
What would I do? 12 men & 44 women cited in last academic essay. If there were more men saying anything relevant, I'd have found them
Obviously, no-one at all is going to suggest I should do this coz its women who are overrepresented but I'm thinking about how I could do it
I'd have to change my argument to include something that more men are typically interested in - theology, law & economics probably.
And what would I have done in the module where I was forced to look at maps. Do you know how many women are interested in maps? Very few.
Its just not doable unless you pick your topics according the gender representation among scholars. Don't pick topics that way.
I don't think we need panic too much, tho. Its just not doable. Tho it might lead to some ppl finding a few names & a way to work them in.
God, how awful to be cited for that reason. And for people not to know if you only were coz you had the right identity. :(
Just stop it.
