Collaborative Credit


Although we are not economists, I thought this article in the New York Times might be of interest to some of you. Economics, like philosophy, has a larger gender gap than most of the social sciences and humanities. This article describes how women economists do not receive the same credit their male peers do for collaborative work. I wonder what sort of parallels there might be in philosophy.
