Thanks, Peggy.  I agree with others that this is good news.  But I hope there will be a follow-up study of this cohort when they come up for tenure and promotion.  That will be an important gauge of the climate for women in the profession.  Diana

Subject: Study showing that women in philosophy are hired in proportion to their percentage of PhDs

Hi All,

I just added the following to http://www.apaonlinecsw.org/data-on-women-in-philosophy.

CSW Jobs for Philosophers Employment Study<https://www.dropbox.com/s/6z71m4be2imln29/CSWNewsletterJFPEmploymentStudy.pdf>
Miriam Solomon and John Clark, 2009
This is a report of faculty hires following Jobs for Philosophers (JFP) Volume 175 and 176 (October and November 2007).  One of the key conclusions is:  Women were hired in all categories in proportion to their percentage of PhD's (this includes temporary positions and postdocs, tenure-track positions, and positions in Leiter-ranked departments).
