[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreeing with what an earlier pp mentioned earlier - this is especially important for female and minority scholars who are frequently not addressed by their title even while their white male colleagues are. I (female professor) experienced this a few years ago when an email to myself and a colleague was addressed as Dr. XXX and Mrs. XXX (the student had no reason to know whether I was married or not).[/quote]I will never forget when, as a young assistant professor, a ran into a student of mine who said in a friendly but patronizing manner, "Sooooo, you got your Masters of Sociology!" He thought I was an adjunct. I decided to laugh it off and not mention that, yes, I also had my PhD in sociology. [/quote]
