- Title
Does it Matter if Women, Minorities and Gays Govern?: New Data Concerning an Old Question.

- Abstract
Elite studies in general, and elite social characteristics in particular, used to be a focus of intense interest in Canadian Sociology. The interest in elite social characteristics has since declined, apparently in part because it is believed that the topic is of no substantive significance. Nonetheless, a considerable body of research in Political Science and Women's Studies over the past two decades has shown that social characteristics such as gender, race, and sexual orientation have a meaningful impact on the decisions made by those in authority positions. This paper calls for renewed study of elite social characteristics in Canadian Sociology.
