****
Only half an article by a woman in the entire volume, Vincy Fon, along with eight men. 309 pages of d00dliness. Fon & Parisi have a different topic and aren’t in the symposium on post-Kelo reform. Soooo, that’d be 278 pages of symposium d00dliness and zero women.

The symposium topic is “Post Kelo Reform.” I’m sure some women law profs are interested enough in the decision to write about it if asked. Hell, Kelo herself is a woman — and not a passive named plaintiff propped up by the Cato Institute either. The symposium folks could have asked to excerpt part of her book about the case if they had nothing else.

  1. junior scholar says:

    In all these where are the women postings, co-authored work by one man and one woman gets treated as “one half an article” by a woman. Such views discourage coauthoring. (It goes along with giving a co-authored piece half the credit as a sole authored piece in the tenure process, by some.) It seems that we want to encourage women (and men, but they already seem to do so in larger numbers, at least in the social sciences) to coauthor (with other women and with men). Co-authored work, at least in the social sciences, gets higher citations, etc.

  2. Bridget Crawford says:

    The absence of female authors, no matter how you count ’em, is depressing. That women might have a “better” chance of being published if they co-author with a man is depressing, too.
