Interesting bias

Posted at 12:43 PM on 19 January, 2011 by Farah Mendlesohn

Fascinated to see you have two panels, one academic, one of authors, and not a single woman.

Your academic panellists appear to have rather weak qualifications to be speaking about sf and fantasy, and two offer the same expertise.
