Breaking the Mold, for which SWIM is a major sponsor, is working to directly combat bias (conscious and unconscious, for all dimensions of diversity). This year&#39;s event will be a hackathon on February 25, 2017.  In advance of this event, we are working with various groups across campus to develop relevant and impactful hackathon challenges.  Your perspective is essential in this discussion, and so we would love for you all to join a workshop during lunch on Monday, December 12 to further develop the hackathon challenge ideas.</span></div>

<strong>When:</strong> December 13th, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM<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&#39;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&#39;s special exhibition &quot;Daniel Chester French: The Female Form Revealed.&quot; <br>
&quot;It is the goal of this exhibition to help fill that gap in French scholarship. &#39;Daniel Chester French: The Female Form Revealed&#39; will explore French&#39;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.&quot; <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&#39;s great artwork and architecture. Then each group will switch and discover what they didn&#39;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>

<strong>Goal Setting for Your Best Year Yet (Webinar)</strong><br>

​Presenter – Cindy Loughran; Professional Certified Coach and Founder, Cindy Loughran Coaching<br>
We all have things we say we&#39;d like to do but, somehow, they never seem to get done. They can range from simple to complex: reading a book, learning a new skill, taking a vacation, or completing a project at work. Despite our stated desire to do these things, other priorities get in the way and we don&#39;t do them. In this webinar, you will get tools to help you identify what&#39;s really important to you and you&#39;ll learn how to set specific, attainable goals and develop workable plans for reaching them.</span><br>

HE PERSONAL IS STILL POLITICAL:<br>
CHALLENGING MARGINALIZATION THROUGH THEORY, ANALYSIS, &amp; PRAXIS<br>
 A Graduate Student Conference on Gender, Culture, Women &amp; Sexuality <br>
March 31 &amp; 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, &amp; 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 &amp; Esposito (2010), hooks (1984), Moraga &amp; Anzaldua (1981), Spivak (1992), Wolfe (1999), among others<br>

Breaking The Mold 2017: part conference, part hackathon, focused on bringing diverse teams and skillsets together to tackle the issue of unconscious bias. <br>
The Breaking the Mold Hackathon is focused on leveraging MIT&#39;s community of innovation and creativity to create solutions to hack unconscious bias. The hackathon will being together individuals from diverse backgrounds to solve some of the world&#39;s most pressing issues. <br>
Research suggests that diverse groups perform better, and that a culture of meritocracy alone is not enough to generate groups that reflect the diversity of our society. We all have biases, conscious and unconscious, and being aware of and managing these biases can help organizations boost diversity among leadership groups.<br>
