[Air-L] gender

[Michael T Zimmer]

I wanted to thank everyone contributing for these threads and advocacy, and particularly Gabriella and Lisa for pointing to the importance of assessing our syllabi for representation, not just our scholarship.

I was jolted into awareness of my own shortcomings in this regard when Anna Hoffmann who, after TA-ing for me for many semesters, completely reengineered one of my classes once she took it over — and so much for the better! (Anna, I [stole] use your version now)

For syllabi, you can explore authors via The Open Syllabus Project

Thanks everyone for the helpful (though depressing) pointers.

I've also wondered too about syllabus/syllabi and if anyone has studied
gender and courses. I am currently the undergraduate program director
for my dept right now and I approve courses that students take outside
of McGill and do so by judging the syllabi. I always count female vs
male authors/academics and it is always deeply lopsided. It is all of
course all very informal but it is rather consistent.

All best,
Gabriella

In law, 2 of the top 100 are women; taking it through the top 200 gets
you up to 22ish (apologies but I can't fully decode all of the names).
