Joshua L. Mann has been doing a series of interviews with scholars on academic blogging. Since this year’s SBL Annual Meeting will be addressing whether or not students should blog this is a series that should help us gear up for the debate! Here are the participants:

Aren’t there any female professors who blog? Your panel seems oddly all male. Just a thought for future panels.
Do you mean the whole list of links or just the interviews done by Joshua Mann? As far as the broader list, Mann has interviewed men only, and I haven’t seen any women respond to Aslan yet, so that leaves the middle section. Traditionally, when I do post links it is usually like the middle section and there are more women represented there. If you are referring to Mann’s interviews specifically I’m not sure why it has been only males thus far.
Yes specifically about the interviews. Just a curious question.
I noticed that as well, though I am not quite sure “why” it is all men.
