A breakdown by department is here.
Just a few quick impressions. I don't claim that any of these warrant significant conclusions, but some may point to hypotheses worth further thought.
The top ten PGR ranked departments are
School Rank %
- MIT 7 29
- Stanford 9 25
- Yale 7 24
- Harvard 5 21
- UM 4 21
- UNC 9 20
- Pitt 5 19
- NYU 1 18
- Princeton 3 18
- Rutgers 2 17
Overall, this is slightly below the norm, but not a lot.
The overall percentage of women at top 51 PGR programs is 22%.
The departments strongly recommended for continental philosophy by the "pluralist's guide"
- PSU 41
- Oregon 40
- Villanova 36
- DePaul 35
- Duquesne 33
- Binghamton 33
- Emory 31
- Vanderbilt 31
- Loyola-Chicago 30
- NSSR 30
- Memphis 29
- Stony Brook 25
- Fordham 23
- Boston college 22
- Marquette 21
Substantially better than the norm.
There are 10 PGR top 40 programs with more than 25% women: Penn, Indiana, Illinois - Chicago, Northwestern, U Mass, Columbia, Duke, Georgetown, MIT, and Brown.
Of course there are the universities with 0 women, ranked in order of total size:
- UC Santa Cruz
- Knoxville
- Dallas
- Baylor
And there is only 1 university with 50% - Georgia.
A quick check of Catholic colleges - I may well have missed some:
- Villanova 36
- Depaul 35
- Duquesne 33
- Loyola-Chic 30
- Georgetown 29
- Catholic U 24
- Fordham 23
- Boston college 22
- Marquette 21
- St Louis U 20
- Notre Dame 15
- Dallas 0
Above the norm if we leave off Dallas and Notre Dame.
The only department on the list that I recognize as having a strong identification with protestantism is Baylor (with 0%). Are there others?
What to make of all this? I certainly don't know, but it is interesting data.
Oh, and the percentage of women awarded PhDs in the US has been in the high 20s for 20 years.
