<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Join NE GWiSE and GW@MIT for an interactive session with Dr. Thanawala where she'll discuss why “early” career success is particularly important for people of “difference” (eg.
race + gender, LGBTQ). And, why it is important to prepare for the new situations that are critical in the workplace but which are typically not experienced in college; which (non-technical) skills, if honed, can have a big impact, and what self/mindsets allow
new hires to create higher impact.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Dr. Thanawala spent 39 years in tech, the last 17 as VP at Bell Labs. She came to Harvard as a 2018 Advanced Leadership Fellow. Dr. Thanawala has a PhD in Computer Science (Yale)
and has worked in many tech domains – R&D, product management, new product introduction, etc. She is now creating a Leadership Academy for Women of Color in Tech, which pilots in Boston in March 2020. The pilot is funded by the Melinda Gates Foundation, and
is open to students from the 9 schools that are part of NE GWiSE.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">We possess everything we need to be the unique leader that each of us can be. However, in different times and circumstances, we may feel blocked/challenged and unable to bring our vision
and inspiration forward. In this short workshop, we will experience a form of meditation which is aligned with how leaders work in the world. Leaders aspire to lead with their eyes open and with their awareness extended. This behavior cultivates the best outcome.
While there are many definitions of leadership, in the end it is up to you to find your solution to the situation by listening to your truth and having the certainty to know what is right – a balance of inner clarity and outer confidence. The meditation practice
presented here will address how to recognize and harness distraction, how to be simple and open to possibilities, and how to take action that brings beneficial results.<br>

a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend. Life-long careers in one sector or one company are becoming a rarity as new technologies and shifting social norms disrupt traditional careers. Both employers and
employees are seeking more diversity of experience, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. This panel is designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. The panel will have an informational interview
type feel with panelists sharing their career paths, a look at what their job entails, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change, tips for uncovering opportunities, advice for others, and how to make brave leaps. Then you will get some small
group time with the panelists during a few speed networking rounds. The panel portion will be moderated by Yelena Wetherill, </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">Associate Director, Alliance Management, Business

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">This course examines women in South Asian history through the intersections of women’s lives with religion, colonialism, and
postcolonial culture. Using historical, literary, and anthropological lenses the course will consider how various institutions of authority—patriarchy, religion, and the state—have shaped and continue to reshape gender in South Asia, and how women, in turn,
resisted, interpreted, and negotiated their position in society. Women continue to be a sign of South Asia’s “backwardness”, but serve simultaneously as a symbolic upon which ideas of modernity are debated. Thus, how women are imagined is often at the core
of how nationhood is defined and desired in South Asia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Adopting a chronological (ancient to modern South Asia) and theoretical approach built on examples from literature, film, religious
scripture, theological commentaries, and colonial history, this course will explore the following themes: the representation of women in religious texts; the comparative constructions of women and their roles across South Asian cultural traditions; women and
the cast system; the goddess traditions and the question of political and social empowerment; gender segregation; devotion and desire; conceptions of male honor and female chastity, with reference to bride-burning and prostitution; rites of passage, e.g. those
relating to puberty, marriage, and widowhood; reformism in the colonial period and its impact on women; and women, nationalism, and fundamentalism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">This course will bring together conceptual tools from postcolonial African literature and theory, clinical psychology, and
feminist film studies. We will ask how diagnostic categories become gendered, and how women’s psychosexual development might be thought of in cross-and-trans-cultural terms. Specifically, by putting into dialogue media representations and scholarly analyses
from two culture zones, the US and Africa, we will investigate the clinical issues surrounding trauma, spirit possession, hysteria, and body image disturbances as well as colonialism and its impact on African psychiatric discourse. Key questions we will address
include: How does the practice of psychiatry in two different cultures both perpetuate and destabilize patriarchal narratives of the women’s psyche? And how might such interrogations in turn enable intersectional approaches to social policy and clinical practice?
Our aim is to enable an interdisciplinary conversation about psychopathology in relationship to gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, diaspora, and postcoloniality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
