Women in Ranked Anglophone Departments Outside the US

Mark Lance recently posted the percentage of female faculty in various US departments. And in a comment, Michel-Antoine Xhignesse provided the numbers for 12 Canadian departments. I have tried to do the same for non-US departments that make it to the PGR top 50 among Anglophone countries (and, taking advantage of Xhignesse’s figures, three Canadian departments just outside).

Notes: # is number of female faculty; % is percentage. SASP=St. Andrew’s-Stirling; KCL=King's College, London, UCL=University College, London, UWO=University of Western Ontario, UBC=University of British Columbia, ANU=Australian National University.

It is difficult to figure out who in these departments are “tenure-track” and who not. I count as tenure-track those whose full-time appointment is not for a fixed term. Thus, post-doctoral fellows and contract lecturers are excluded. But those on probationary appointments leading up to regular lectureships count. If I have estimated numbers wrongly, or made other errors, please contact me directly and I will make corrections to the post (which would be better than having them appear in comments).
