I must admit income and violence victimization are two stats of prime interest to me, more so than that of student ratios.Leah Sandalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586221448338828889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342911384518459004.post-40341881442494058192009-02-28T23:39:00.000-05:002009-02-28T23:39:00.000-05:00That's quite the inane quote from the Director of ...That's quite the inane quote from the Director of our National Gallery.

I had an ongoing debate with a mature student in my curatorial studies class last year (which was all women) about why she thought we "young people" should be concerned that we were "losing men's voices" in the discipline since so few men were in our art history program (there are currently 3 out of 20). I tried to point out that every time you enter a gallery you see a half dozen men women staffing the gallery, running the front desk, programming educational activities, but that 90% of directors and curators are men. She didn't really ever come round on it, but I don't buy the "not enough men are interested in art history anymore" argument.<BR/><BR/>As Carol Zemel says at York, if the men are genuinely concerned about their lack of presence in the field, they should start a movement. That's what we did.Gabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493216962242618326noreply@blogger.com
