It is requested that an image or photograph of Jane Bennett (political theorist) be
included in this article to
improve its quality. Please replace this template with a more specific
media request template where possible.
Should Biography articles have exhaustive bibliographies? It appears quite similar to a
Curriculum vitae, especially when the size of the list dwarfs the biographical text, and the actual CV is appropriately located at the subjects faculty page, externally linked. A more subtle solution might be to include a
collapsible list for those interested in finding more, without becoming simply a directory. cheers,

Agreed. It's a common issue with many academics who create or edit their own Wikipedia pages and add their entire CVs. The general public does not need to know every iteration a talk or a piece of writing went through. The external links can be consulted should anyone really need to find out how many articles the author has written.

Misleading title
This article should relate to Jane Bennett from Jane Austen's story, it's really confusing to have this page about the political theorist here
