>>><BR>Dear All,<BR><BR>I'm currently reviewing a new sociolinguistic
dictionary. The<BR>dictionary<BR>includes named entries of key academics (these
include Labov, Hymes,<BR>Bourdieu, for instance). The authors quite sensibly
note that there is<BR>a<BR>preponderance of white, Anglophone, male academics in
their entries<BR>and<BR>explain this as a consequence of the way in which
academic disciplines<BR>have developed. They go on to state that this situation
is likely to<BR>change over time.<BR><BR>Whilst I commend the fact that the
authors note this at all, my feeling<BR>is<BR>that the situation is unlikely to
change unless dictionaries such as<BR>the<BR>one I'm reviewing take a stand and
introduce female, non-white<BR>academics<BR>into their representation of the
canon. It's not like there aren't<BR>excellent female and/or non-white
researchers out there.<BR><BR>How do others feel about this? If you support my
view, who would you<BR>like<BR>to see included?<BR><BR>Many
thanks,<BR>Emma.<BR><BR>*********************************************************************<BR><BR>Dr
