We then apply the human resource management research literature to these data to seek to understand how decision-making in the academy may explain ongoing inequalities. Our research suggests that the continued disparity in male-female promotion trajectories is, at least in part, a function of the way in which talent, merit, or excellence is understood and operationalised in the academy more widely. We posit that the disparity in the numbers of men and women at the higher levels of the legal academy will only be successfully countered once we adopt a more sophisticated approach to analysing what makes an excellent law teacher/researcher/administrator and then develop and promote people on that basis.","PeriodicalId":441083,"journal":{"name":"Gender and Careers in the Legal Academy","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126428027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"India’s Women Legal Academics: Who They Are and Where You Might Find Them","authors":"Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen, R. Samuel","doi":"10.5040/9781509923144.ch-005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5040/9781509923144.ch-005","url":null,"abstract":"Legal institutions in India have historically been inhospitable sites for women (Mossman 2006; Sorabji 2010; Mishra 2016; Rajkotia 2017). Unlike the trend of increasing feminisation in legal professions around the world, women constitute less than 10% of all lawyers in India, a percentage that has not changed in the last half century (Michelson 2013; Ballakrishnen 2019). And outside a few small pockets of exceptionalism (Ballakrishnen 2017, 2018), systemic biases and gendered hierarchies continue to be relevant for today’s lawyer. Not that much is different in the legal academy: despite some recent increases in the gender ratios, Indian law schools are, and predominantly have been, led by male torchbearers. Men are more likely to be academic deans and vice-chancellors than women. Men are more likely to have tenure and be represented in academic councils. They are cited and referenced in the classroom more frequently – because they are both likely to be curating the teaching syllabi for these classrooms and because they are more likely to have written the books that are considered canonical for students of law. Together, this combined positionality has made the authoritative male voice, in the classroom and curriculum alike, not just predominant, but also ‘natural’.","PeriodicalId":441083,"journal":{"name":"Gender and Careers in the Legal Academy","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129430271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
