Sent: 17 August 2011 20:24 What's Rachel Maines doing now? Well, her cv is available online, and, when working on her claims for the Greco-Roman evidence recently, I read her 2010 introductory piece for a catalogue, 'Hysteria past yet present', for an exhibition held at the Paul Robeson Galleries at Rutgers where she says the same things as she did in the book. This seems to suggest that she retains 'expert status' in the topic. There are various online clips/transcripts of her attributing her problems in getting an academic job to having written the book. There are lessons for us all here in how the category of 'academic expert' is constructed!
