<i><span style="font-size:11pt">The Gender/Race Imperative</span></i><span style="font-size:11pt"> aims to revive awareness of the broad capacity of Title IX, the crucial law mandating equal education opportunities for women. We hope it will kick start inquiry
to foster legal, policy, and social reforms that enable success in schools and workplaces for girls and women of all races and economic backgrounds. To engage and educate MIT and the broader Boston area community on the role of Title IX in education, particularly
for STEM, MIT brings engineers and other scientists together in conversation with lawyers and social scientists to develop multidimensional strategies for promoting equity in STEM. </span></div>

<span style="font-size:11pt">Lhamon, Larkin, and Graves are authorities on Title IX, each of whom brings a different perspective on how this civil rights law works and how to strengthen its effectiveness. In this first in a series of programs, the speakers
will familiarize the audience with the many ways which Title IX insures that no person “shall be excluded from participation, in be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance.” As well, each presenter will provide an assessment of Title IX’s influence going forward. </span></div>
