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!

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.
