*2. De-escalating Conflicts at MIT with the iREFS*
*When*: Tuesday, November 17, 5:00 - 6:30 PM
*Where*: MIT Building 5-217 <http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=5>
*RSVP*: link <http://signup.mit.edu/DeescalationWorkshop>

Wondering how to navigate a conflict in the lab, with your PI, or a
roommate?
Come learn new skills in conflict management and de-escalation techniques
to help you prepare for those difficult conversations.

Join iREFS and the Director for Student Citizenship, Kevin Kraft,  for a
mini workshop to learn de-escalation techniques  including a brief
description of the formal conflict management options and complaint
resolution procedures at MIT.
Food and snacks will be provided.

No prior experience required, please RSVP:
signup.mit.edu/DeescalationWorkshop

Escalating conflict happens with regularity in all of our lives.  It
happens when your roommate starts an argument, when the your flight gets
cancelled and you loose your cool with the airline staff, and when everyday
conflicts in the lab or the office get heated.  This brief, interactive
workshop will give you the skills needed to de-escalate people who are in a
heightened conflict.  This is a fun workshop for people who want to learn a
valuable skill that will pay off in their professional career and personal
relationships.  No prior experience required.

Also included will be a brief description of the formal conflict management
options and complaint resolution procedures at MIT so that all participants
will know how to get the Institute’s help reporting misconduct and
resolving conflicts.

*3. [GCWS] Queer Diasporas and Futurities*
*When*: Wednesday, November 18, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
*Where*: The Moore Room, Building 6-321 <http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=6>

The Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies is pleased to announce the
second event in our Feminisms Unbound
<http://web.mit.edu/gcws/news+events/15-16FeminismsUnbound.html> series.
Please join us, and spread the word!

Our roundtable explores the ways in which both "queerness" and "diaspora"
each displace normative classifications of sexuality and nationality, with
consequences for the imagination of "futurity" in literature, visual
culture, and cultural politics. As queerness complicates the boundedness of
an ethnic, national or religious collectivity that desires to reproduce its
own identity, so may diaspora unsettle the normative white Europeanness of
conceptions of same-sex desire. Presenters discuss how diaspora figures
both geographical displacement and the crossing of figurative boundaries of
person, culture, society, and state, and they elaborate ways that queering
describes not only different embodiments of gender and sexuality, but also
a skewing of normative epistemology and social organization.

This event is free and open to the public.

Roundtable discussion participants:

   - *Feng-Mei Heberer*, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, MIT
   - *Umayyah Cable*, PhD Student, Department of American Studies and
   Ethnicity, University of Southern California
   - *Fatima El-Tayeb*, Professor of Literature, University of California
   San Diego
   - Fourth roundtable participant TBD
   - Moderator: *Lisa Lowe*, Professor of English, Tufts University

Feminisms Unbound is organized by Kimberly Juanita Brown, Assistant
Professor of English and Africana Studies, Mount Holyoke College, Lisa
Lowe, Professor of English and American Studies, Tufts University, and
Jyoti Puri, Professor of Sociology, Simmons College.  Kimberly, Lisa, and
Jyoti are also Visiting Scholars with the GCWS this year, and we thank them
for their efforts programming this exciting set of roundtable discussions.
The goal of this series is to foster conversations and community among
Boston-area feminist intellectuals and activists and explore Women’s,
Gender, and Sexuality Studies topics at the edges of the field.

*4. [Cheneyroom] Graduate Women's Lunch*
*When*: Thursday, November 19, 1:30 - 2:30 PM
*Where*: MIT Building 3-310 <http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=3> (Cheney Room)

next Thursday, Nov. 19 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Cheney Room. We
