On July 1, 2010, she became Chair of the Yale University Department of Philosophy, becoming the first woman to hold that position in the department’s history and the first female graduate of Yale College to chair a Yale Department. [1]
Do you think she needs to worry about her academic relevance?

Full Disclosure: As mentioned elsewhere I took a class from her at Syracuse University at the beginning of her career. That being said I am not an academic and do not gain anything from her professional reputation.
- gcb0 13y agoif my merits laid on highlighting my gender, i'd be worried as well :) I'm pretty sure i'm the first native american to do something of relevance, but I will be dammed if I write/let this be the opening paragraph of my Bio.
- dfc 13y agoIts too bad that you focused on her gender and not the fact that she was now the chair of her department.
