I remember a couple of years ago seeing some data related to demographics and hiring in philosophy (i.e., the number of jobs that went to men versus the number of jobs that went to women, as well as data on the demographics of the candidate pool) but now I can’t seem to find it, or anything more recent.
Does anyone have information on this?
Carolyn Dicey Jennings did something like this for last year’s hiring data on prophilosophy. https://prophilosophy.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/tenure-track-hiring-analysis-stage-three/
Could (cough) the APA help here?
Are you maybe thinking of the 2009 “CSW Jobs for Philosophers Employment Study” from the APA Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy? You can download the pdf here (it’s Vol.08, No.2):

I think it was Carolyn’s data (an earlier version?) I was thinking of–maybe not–but both are helpful. Thanks!
