TheHermitage: D-List Advice for collaborations

Another bulleted list among other boringass bulleted lists, this time about collaborating. I need a life...srs.

Wimminz in Academia, now with 100% Fewer Babies

What the heck is this, Hermitage? You may ask. This is where I'm re-displaying the awesome Q&A I hosted with a panel of female academics. They answered 4 epic questions on what it was like to be a woman in academia, with the caveat that they could not concern children in any way. Because I'm ebil like that.

The questions were:

1. How do you command the attention, and respect, of men in academic settings (e.g. classroom, conferences, faculty meetings)?

2. How should women dealing with a two-body problem handle assumptions that their career is secondary to their partner’s?

3. What would you like to see from tenure-track and not-yet-tenure-track menfolk? How can they pitch in?

4. How do you deal with insinuations that you were only chosen for a position/award/etc because of affirmative action?

The hub page linking to all their answers is here. You can also navigate to their pages directly and look for the 'AcademicWomensansBabies' tag to find their answers. Enjoy my muffins!
