Where: MIT, Building 4 Room 370
Contact: lanacook at mit.edu

he Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies at MIT invites you to a film screening of Anita: Speaking Truth to Power on Wednesday November 5, 7 pm, at MIT Building 4 Room 370.
 
The film screening of Anita (2013) will be followed by a panel discussion featuring: Dr. Evelynn Hammonds, Professor of the History of Science and African and African American Studies at Harvard University, and Leena Akhtar, Doctoral Candidate, History of Science, Harvard University.
 
About Anita (2013)
 
"Anita Hill's graphic testimony was a turning point for gender equality in the U.S. and ignited a political firestorm about sexual misconduct and power in the workplace that resonates still today. She has become an American icon, empowering millions of women and men around the world to stand up for equality and justice.
 
Against a backdrop of sex, politics, and race, ANITA reveals the intimate story of a woman who spoke truth to power. Directed by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Freida Mock, the film is both a celebration of Anita Hill's legacy and a rare glimpse into her private life with friends and family, many of whom were by her side that fateful day 22 years ago. Anita Hill courageously speaks openly and intimately for the first time about her experiences that led her to testify before the Senate and the obstacles she faced in simply telling the truth. She also candidly discusses what happened to her life and work in the 22 years since." - Read more on the film website.
 
All events are free and open to the public.  This public event is hosted in conjunction with the Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies' Fall 2014 course Gender, Health, and Marginalization taught by the GCWS faculty team Norma Meras Swenson, Chris Bobel, and Silvia Domínguez.

4. Girls Day @the MIT Museum

Last year we had more than 100 girls attend the both days during November and May. It would be great if we could have representations of women in science and engineering from around campus. Please let me know if your group would be willing to volunteer time during the day.

When: October 30, 2014 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. PDT.
Sign up: here

You are invited to attend our upcoming webinar, Putting Heads in Beds: Measuring and Optimizing Outcomes in Destination Marketing. Based on a study using a sample of destination marketing and OTA/Hotel-marketing initiatives run with Rocket Fuel in 2014, our marketing research team was able to identify how consumer exposure to destination marketing affected bookings on those sites, the duration of stay, and the amount spent.  

In this webinar, we will show you how our findings reveal the synergy between destination marketing and online travel booking, as well as methods for optimizing the consumer path-to-purchase for travel advertisers on both sides of the equation.
