<br>
<em>The Age of Innocence</em>, for which she won the Pulitzer, combined an insider&#39;s view of American aristocracy with a powerful prose style. Her novels and short stories realistically portrayed the lives and morals of the late 19th century, an era of decline and faded wealth. </font></div>

The <strong>Gender/Race Imperative</strong> aims to revive awareness of the broad capacity of Title IX, the crucial law mandating equal education opportunities for women. We hope it will kick start inquiry to foster legal, policy, and social reforms that enable success in schools and workplaces for girls and women of all races and economic backgrounds. To engage and educate MIT and the broader Boston area community on the role of Title IX in education, particularly for STEM, MIT brings engineers and other scientists together in conversation with lawyers and social scientists to develop multidimensional strategies for promoting equity in STEM.<br>

<em><strong>Coeducation at MIT in the 1950s--60s with an Epilog on the enduring bottleneck of women engineering faculty</strong></em><br>
<br>
<em>In the 1950s women made up 1 to 3% of the MIT student body, less than half that of 1897. A faculty committee produced a majority report that recommended that MIT cease admitting women, but President Killian and Provost Stratton instead accepted a minority report with the opposite recommendation: that MIT accept more women and improve their quality of life. This talk tells the story of three major players in this sea change: Dottie Bowe and Professors Kenneth Wadleigh and Emily Wick. A half century later, nearly half of the students were women. The talk concludes with a less optimistic appraisal of the stagnant number of women faculty in electrical engineering and computer science in the US.</em><br>
