A *huge* problem. It also includes search committee positions, review requests, letters of recommendation, P&T reviews (so, so many of these post tenure)—it goes on and on. And the social penalties for women saying no are so dramatically higher than when men say no.
In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

🚨My new article, part of a @risjnl.bsky.social special issue on heritage I co-edited with the wonderful @elifkalay.bsky.social. I explore how the frenzy for acquiring antiquities in early 19th century (most famously, the Parthenon Marbles) was really international competition for cultural status.
