Great interview with Shafi, just didn't like the "gender politics" at the end. We should start focusing on the quality of work a person does again instead of superficialities like his or her gender and race. It has been a sad direction for American academia to go into in recent years and a big factor that is dragging down traditional western institutions in general. And honestly all this kind of talk ("nominating women" - because... they are women?) and policies like affirmative action do is make people suspicious of racial minorities and women who get into high status positions.
