<strong>Where:</strong> MIT Building W20-306<br>
<strong>Contact:</strong> 617.253.3656, <a href="http://wleague@mit.edu" target="_blank" style="color:#2baadf;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline">wleague@mit.edu</a><br>
The League tradition of making the holiday wreaths for the main entrance to MIT began in the 1930s during Karl Taylor Compton's term as MIT's president. Since then League volunteers have come together at the end of November/beginning of December to make the three large evergreen wreaths that hang above the 77 Mass. Ave. entrance. <br>
Though a bit cumbersome to craft on their 4 ft. and 5 ft. wooden frames, the resulting creations are beautiful and lend a holiday presence to the main entryway. Once again we invite new and experienced wreath makers to help with the greenery design and assembly of the wreaths. League member Brenda Blais will guide the creative process and practiced League volunteers will assist her. <br>
If you've never done something like this before, this morning activity is a fun way to learn and a fragrant way to begin the holiday season. At the end of the morning you, too, will be a seasoned crafter of this traditional holiday decoration! <br>
Please contact the League office at 617.253.3656 or <a href="mailto:wleague@mit.edu">wleague@mit.edu</a> to volunteer. We welcome your assistance for as long as your time permits that morning.</span></div>

<strong>When:</strong> Saturday, December 10th, 5:00 PM<br>
<strong>Where:</strong> Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church | 1555 Massachusetts Avenue, Harvard Square, Cambridge<br>
Featured works: Two pieces written for women of the 18th century Venetian Ospedali by Baldassari Galuppi: Dixit Dominus and Nunc dimittis, performed with string quartet and organ. We also sing music of David Hamilton, Sonya Huang, and, and Kevin Galiè. Free admission, reception after the concert. <br>
The MIT Women's Chorale is a concert choir sponsored by the MIT Women's League, and is open to all women of the MIT and Harvard communities and a small number of guests at the discretion of the director.<br>
In October 2008, the Chorale welcomed Kevin Galiè as our Music Director and Conductor. The Chorale welcomes Seoyon MacDonald as our accompanist in September 2016.<br>
Our repertoire covers a wide range of styles, from medieval to contemporary, including both sacred and secular music. The Chorale performs two or more concerts each year. These include a holiday concert held in December, and a spring concert, usually held in April or May. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to 9:30pm in the Emma Rogers Room (10-340) at MIT. We work hard to prepare for each concert, so a commitment to regular attendance is expected from our members.<br>
We are enriched by the diversity of our membership, which includes women of a wide age range and women from the international communities at MIT and Harvard. While our primary focus is singing, we end each evening with conversation over light refreshments. We also hold a pot luck supper each semester. The interactions fostered by the Chorale have led to many life-long friendships.<br>

<strong>When:</strong> December 13th, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM<br>
<strong>Where:</strong> Boston Athenaeum, 10 1/2 Beacon Street, Boston<br>
<strong>Reserve</strong>: <a href="http://wleague@mit.edu" target="_blank" style="color:#2baadf;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline">wleague@mit.edu</a><br>
Born in Concord, MA, Daniel Chester French is known to most New Englanders as the sculptor of the Minute Man statue (1875) at Concord's historic Old North Bridge. Nationally and internationally he is known as the sculptor of the Abraham Lincoln monumental statue (1906) in the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C.. <br>
We hope you will join us to view yet another theme of his work at the Boston Athenaeum's special exhibition "Daniel Chester French: The Female Form Revealed." <br>
"It is the goal of this exhibition to help fill that gap in French scholarship. 'Daniel Chester French: The Female Form Revealed' will explore French's career primarily as seen in a group of preliminary models and studies that he made not only for major public commissions but also for a number of his more intimate and personal works." <br>
Our Athenaeum visit is limited sixteen people. Eight will have a guided tour of the exhibition while the other eight will explore the building's great artwork and architecture. Then each group will switch and discover what they didn't see in their first session. <br>
The tour begins at 11:00 am. You may meet a group at the Kendall T station on the inbound platform at 10:15 am and travel together. Or you may choose to go directly to the Athenaeum at 10 l/2 Beacon Street, Boston (across from the State House). The tour cost is $10 per person (no discounts provided). <br>
To reserve your place, please contact the League office at 617.253.3656 or <a href="mailto:wleague@mit.edu">wleague@mit.edu</a>.</span></div>

How to identify repayment responsibilities for each loan<br>
Methods for reducing monthly payments <br>
Strategies for identifying cash flow that can be used to prepay education debt<br>
Ways to avoid becoming delinquent and defaulting on education debt, even during times of personal economic hardship<br>

<strong>Raising Children Who Care About Others and Their Communities</strong><br>
<strong>When:</strong> Thursday, December 1st, 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM<br>
<strong>Where:</strong> MIT Building E25-401<br>
Presenter – Luba Falk Feigenberg, Ed.D.; Research Director, Making Caring Common<br>
Children face complicated situations that challenge their notions of right and wrong every day. Parents and caregivers often struggle to talk with their children about these situations and to help guide children’s social and ethical development. This presentation will share research about children’s social, emotional, and ethical development and describe the skills that contribute to success in relationships, in school, and in life. Strategies will be shared for building empathy and perspective taking, and for helping children be more compassionate in their everyday interactions.</span><br>

<strong>Deadline:</strong> January 6, 2017<br>

HE PERSONAL IS STILL POLITICAL:<br>
CHALLENGING MARGINALIZATION THROUGH THEORY, ANALYSIS, & PRAXIS<br>
A Graduate Student Conference on Gender, Culture, Women & Sexuality <br>
March 31 & April 1, 2017<br>
<br>
In the late 1960s, the statement “the personal is political” emerged as a central rallying cry for feminist activists. While salient before, it has become all the more urgent in light of the 2016 United States election results. Given this, the Consortium for Graduate Studies in Gender, Culture, Women, and Sexuality (GCWS) is hosting a graduate student conference, The Personal Is Still Political: Challenging Marginalization through Theory, Analysis, & Praxis, to investigate how this slogan has been, can be, or is now being mobilized as a concept for resistance by marginalized groups theoretically, analytically, and practically.<br>
Thirty years ago, Audre Lorde remarked that “the absence of [race, sexuality, class, and age] weakens any feminist discussion of the personal and the political.” We build upon this inclusive declaration to examine the diverse reach of state oppressions, violence, hegemonic intervention, and marginality in the contemporary moment. We also aim to explore modes of resistance to such repression. Some of the questions this conference seeks to address include (but are not limited to):<br>
• How have intersectional approaches to praxis reshaped this concept as a useful tool for counter-hegemonic struggles?<br>
• How do repressed groups and individuals enact or challenge “the personal as political” in their daily, lived experiences?<br>
• How is this concept relevant to linkages between academia, activism, and practice?<br>
Topics to be explored in papers and presentations may include (but are not limited to):<br>
• Activism (e.g., Black Lives Matter; the prison abolition movement; the Standing Rock Protective Actions; abortion ban protests in Poland; support for openly queer teenagers kicked out of their homes)<br>
• Legal policies (e.g., transphobic bathroom laws; work and family policy; sexuality-based discrimination and policy; social welfare policies; labor rights; treaty rights; the “We are All Amina Filali” movement in Morocco)<br>
• Nationhood, globalization, and immigration (e.g., refugees and displacement - Syrian refugee crisis; family and migration; persistent Islamophobia and anti-Semitism; nationalism)<br>
• Environmental issues and justice (e.g., climate change; resource scarcity; pollution/toxic contamination - the Flint water crisis, the BP oil spill)<br>
• Health issues (e.g., health care access; reproductive rights; (dis)ability and accessibility; food access; the U.S. opioid crisis; global health disparities)<br>
• Theoretical interventions (e.g., intersectionality; queer theory; postcolonial feminism; feminist psychoanalysis; FemCrit; settler colonialism) as explored by scholars such as Butler (2009), Edelman (2004), Evans-Winters & Esposito (2010), hooks (1984), Moraga & Anzaldua (1981), Spivak (1992), Wolfe (1999), among others<br>
We welcome proposals for papers and/or projects (i.e. paintings, sculptures, film, performances, poetry/literature, songs) from graduate students of all disciplines that explore issues of marginality, repression, and resistance through the lenses of gender and/or sexuality.</span></div>

ISLAND LIFE: Tropical Field Studies of Art+Nature in Puerto Rico is a hands-on, immersive, and project-based program that integrates biology and art in the field, at various environments in Puerto Rico. The focus of the program is to learn about Puerto Rico's diverse wildlife through artmaking and field biology. We travel to rainforests, dry forests, beach, coastal, coral reef, mangrove, and mountain environments. The program involves multiple site-specific projects that integrate creativity, art and biology.<br>
