Irene Monroe </div>
<div><br></div><div>This talk examines the role religion plays in discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. Because homophobia is both a hatred of the “other ” and it’s usually acted upon ‘in the name of religion,” the talk will also highlight how religious intolerance and fundamentalism not only shatters the goal of American democracy, but also aids in perpetuating other forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, classism and anti-Semitism.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Rev. Irene Monroe lives in Cambridge, is a Huffington Post blogger, and a syndicated religion columnist. A native of Brooklyn, Rev. Irene Monroe is a graduate from Wellesley College and Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University, and served as a pastor at an African-American church before coming to Harvard Divinity School for her doctorate as a Ford Fellow. As a syndicated queer religion columnist, her columns appear in 43 cities across the country and in the U.K. She writes a weekly column in the home LGBTQ newspaper BayWindows. </div>

<div>ORGASM INC. - the strange science of female pleasure Director: Liz Canner</div><div><br></div><div>In the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm. Upbeat, engaging, enlightening, and provocative, ORGASM INC. will change the way you think about sex.</div>

It began with interviews with more than 100 remarkable women leaders, who’ve sustained leadership careers (and, for most, families) in fields from business to orchestra conducting to espionage—and who usually wake up every morning profoundly content with the choices they’ve made. Combined with other research in psychology and leadership, and surveys of more than 2000 executives, the team has distilled five elements that, used together, can allow anyone, at any stage in his or her career, to have a more meaningful, more joyful, and more successful life.</div>

<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">-- Meaning: finding your purpose and strengths and deploying them in your work to flourish</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
-- Energizing: knowing where your energy comes from, how it is drained, and what you can do to manage it</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">-- Framing: adopting a more constructive way to view your world, expanding your horizons, and gaining the confidence and resilience to move ahead</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">-- Connecting: identifying who can help you grow and finding your place among them</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
-- Engaging: finding your voice and taking ownership of your opportunities</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
