This is good work Federico has done.  I would like to see a race/GENDER breakdown so that we don’t give women of color the hard time of being separated by our envelope (race/ethnicity/color) or our genitalia (gender).  We are both.  That would further illuminate the stats also so we could have an even more meaningful discussion.  (All the women are White; all the minorities are men; but some of us are strong…)

Subject: Observation regarding this year's nominations

Dear Colleagues:

Here is an observation about the demographic distribution of the 30 candidates nominated this year to AEJMC’s top leadership positions:

Female: 16 = 53%

Male: 14= 47%

Asian American: 4 = 13%

African American: 2 = 7%

Latino/Hispanic: none

American Indian: ?

I don't know the current demographics of AEJMC, but I would venture to say there is a mismatch in the nominations vis-a-vis the minority membership.

Any comments? 

I looked at the AEJMC web site to see who was on the nominations committee, but the names are not shown.

I'm cc'ing this to Linda Steiner, and to Jennifer McGill.   

Federico

P.S. 

If any of you can post this to the MAC and the CSM listserves, please do so on my behalf.
