Hi All
With slightly embarrassed apologies for the shameless selfpromotion, it has been suggested that colleagues may be interested in this piece I wrote earlier this year, on the issue of women in academia - title women, Universities and zombies http://www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/heather-savigny/women-universities-and-zombies
It is aimed at a general readership, but also, hopefully the aim of this email too, is to alert colleagues’ attention to the Open Democracy forum
With kind regards
Heather

Subject: redressing the balance
thanks to several colleagues who've written in response to my query about all-male lineups at academic conferences and seminars. That very evening I received a tweet with a link to this article in the THES. http://t.co/sDM3PWq0
So others are pointing out the problem (and it's definitely NOT just because women have more caring responsibilities, it applies to those who don't too); but having balanced contributions to events and edited collections etc is surely a fairly painless way of helping to redress some of the inequalities.
kind regards and sympathies to all who are organising conferences - it's a headache, of course.
