Abstract

This is a descriptive study of gender inequality in graduate programs in Philosophy in Brazil, in comparison with other scientific areas. Data from the CAPES’s Thesis and Dissertation Catalogue from 1991 to 2021 were analyzed according to three indicators: female supervisors, female authors, and the supervisor-author relationship. The analysis focused on the major areas of scientific research, the Humanities, and the ten areas with the lowest presence of female authors. The results show that in all areas with a majority of female graduates, women supervise at least 50% more women than men. There is no evidence that men supervise more women than men, unless this pattern is observed, which is absent in the ten most unequal fields. In Philosophy, men supervised more than twice as many men as women, and women supervised almost twice as many men as women.
