What the data suggests
Mirrors wider trends
Women are underrepresented in the tourism academy
Historical path dependency
Neoliberal meritocratic context
Pipeline of women scholars is ‘leaking’

Women are cognitively impaired or not ‘wired’ for success
Women are not interested in success and leadership
Sexism in practice
13
But what does it all mean?
Perhaps…
• Occupational sexism
• Overlooked when we think of experts
• Concentration of power is self-referential / self-reinforcing
• “Leaning in” to leadership
• What is canonized as ‘success’ doesn’t necessarily work for women

I liked your response, particularly your point about the lack of women in the figures....it's a continuing issue, but at least we have people like
………., ……… and …….. to bump up the female representation!
I agree that there is a broader debate to be had about equal presentation …. However, as the co-convenor (not just a committee
member as indicated in the original email) … I must say that, indeed, expertise and fit with the conference theme were the key drivers for
selecting keynotes and panel members. I am actually not a fan of discriminating against men just because they are men... and I always get nervous about creating divides where I don't actually see them. I personally would not want to be invited as a keynote to meet some
kind of gender quota.

GENDER EQUITY is not a women’s issue it’s a HUMAN RIGHTS issue
• In September 2014, Ana invited 18 male colleagues to join
• Only 3 joined
“I find this victimhood phenomenon very strange and
unsettling…”

“I always try to get the best speakers on merit, knowledge, enthusiasm and communication skills. If
they happen to be male, female, young, old or whatever so be it ;-)”
“Unfortunately, …, this does not account for, nor compensate for, the structural inequalities in our
society. In this case, we are talking about women and the structural inequalities facing women in our
societies and ones that are worse, obviously, in many cultures. Culture is not an excuse for inequality, in my
view.”
