“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” -Virginia Woolf<br>
It’s time for us to stop being anonymous. Graduate Women at MIT is hosting our annual Spring Empowerment Conference April 10-14, 2017! This year, the theme is “Be Bold, Be Heard”, and we’ll be hosting events centered around helping you find and amplify your unique voice. Whether that’s about improving your written communication, learning the best way to handle confrontations or tricky conversations, or becoming more politically involved – the world needs your voice, and we want to hear it.<br>

Many graduate women at MIT have expressed concerns about talking to friends, family members, co-workers and acquaintances about controversial or taboo topics. This 2-hour workshop is intended to provide practical advice on how to effectively communicate in the midst of some of the hardest conversations we have.<br>

The graduate students from nine universities of the Boston-area Graduate Consortium in Women&#39;s Studies present a biannual interdisciplinary conference entitled &quot;The Personal Is Still Political: Challenging Marginalization through Theory, Analysis, and Praxis&quot; to be held at MIT on March 31st and April 1st, 2017. <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>

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is one of the many kinds of intelligence we use every day. One difference is that we can actually improve our EQ, which research has shown can enhance our careers and relationships. Learn how identifying, understanding, and actively using our own and others’ emotions can help make or break interactions with others, professionally and personally. This seminar provides skills, tools, and interactive exercises to give you a sense of why self-awareness and awareness of others have huge value in all areas of your life. </font></div>
