Care to name one?
prominent non-teaching posts. Uppsala has large numbers of female "Doktorand", who I presume are what here in England we'd call "lecturer." For most of the readers of this list, they would be "professor".
Doctoral student.
On the web pages I quoted in the posting you are replying to: http://www.uu.se/Adresser/Directory/HS.html#HS (Economic History) http://www.uu.se/Adresser/Directory/deps/HH8.html (History) we have references to Prof Ragnhild Lundstrvm, who I assume from the name is a woman. But, as I said, their are dozens of references to other female academics there who, to the Americans on the list) would count as "professors". Heck, in France, schoolteachers can be called Prof. Not that it matters because I doubt if anyone seriously thinks that that spoof has been anywhere near either Uppsala or Zimbabwe. It is still funny though. Ken
