historically underrepresented in mid/senior roles in the tech industry - Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American/Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. 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.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Leadership Fellow. Dr. Thanawala has a PhD in Computer Science (Yale) and has worked in many tech domains – R&D, product mgmt., new product introduction, etc. She is now creating a Leadership Academy for Women in Tech – strong emphasis on women of color and
including white women. The Academy pilots in Boston in March 2020. It is funded by the Melinda Gates Foundation, and is open to students from the nine NE GWiSE schools.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt;mso-add-space:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">Rati has interviewed women who are succeeding in tech, and, is using their stories to illustrate career
challenges and solutions. Often, women of color experience situations which are not commonly seen by white women, and, almost always, the solutions are creative – they need to work within the norms of the tech culture as well as must counter the commonly held
stereotypes of those groups that are historically underrepresented in mid and senior roles in tech.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">During the session, Rati will talk about her key insights – the 19 Levers of Success that need to be mastered to prepare for the non-level playing field. She will briefly discuss her
Leadership Academy which starts on campus for students through two weekends of instruction, and, follows them to the workplace with quarterly instruction and external coaching by successful coaches in tech. This continues until the women are promoted twice
and/or selected to be on the high potential track. Then they graduate from the Academy - this could take 5+ years. This approach is designed to advance the creation of cadres of middle level women managers and individual contributors in tech, who, once they
have reached a level of power and influence, will sponsor other newly hired women in their firms. This will create a ‘pull up’ momentum, which will accelerate the other complementary efforts of the firm to improve diversity and inclusion. Selection for the
(free) March Pilot will be in February through an application process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

industry or other area. Each of us has to find their own way in the leadership labyrinth and develop their emotional intelligence, a critical component of leadership, which complements IQ and technical skills. We will investigate self-awareness, self-regulation,
empathy, motivation and managing relationships. On the practical side, we will discuss team building, negotiation, managing and resolving conflict, bias, diversity and inclusion.

<p class="MsoNormal"><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"><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"><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>

Gender and racial equity are often central goals of urban planning. But what are gender and race? What happens when we start to measure and model these dimensions of identity? Conversely, what happens when we ignore gender and race in urban computation? This
course introduces students to some of the leading scientists, theorists and practitioners who are working to challenge bias in AI and to use data and computation to work towards gender and racial equity in cities. Along the way, we will reflect on our own
identities and learn critical concepts to navigate gender and race from fields such as Urban Planning, Women's & Gender Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Computer Science.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

to study how we can measure unconscious pain. Taylor Baum is a first-year PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT pursuing the integration of signal processing and control theory with biological data. Our unified goal is to produce
a student-led research conference with two parallel goals: 1) to share cutting-edge research at the intersection of engineering, medicine, and biology, and 2) to discuss the culture of how research is done as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif">After completing her PhD in Chemical Engineering at MIT, Anne started her career at Merck Research Laboratories, optimizing and scaling-up processes to make asthma and migraine drugs
for use in clinical trials. Later, through a combination of deliberate moves and unexpected opportunities, she gained exposure to all facets of drug and vaccine development, built strong relationships in both R&D and manufacturing, and developed skills in
project management and leadership. In 2010, she was selected to be a Global Project Team Leader for pediatric vaccines at Merck, and she later went on to lead development teams for a variety of products at Teva Pharmaceuticals, including antibodies and drug-device
combination products. Anne will talk about her career in the context of drug development in large biopharmaceutical companies and share some things she’s learned along the way, including how choosing the right roles can provide the skills and visibility that
open doors in the future. <br>
Anne came to MIT after finishing her B.S. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. She completed her PhD in 1991 and then went to work for Merck in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In more than 20 years at Merck, Anne had a wide range of roles, including
drug and vaccine process development, technology transfer, regulatory submissions, manufacturing, and project leadership. Anne then spent 3 years at Teva Pharmaceuticals, where she led project teams for drugs to treat asthma, cystic fibrosis, and diabetes.
Anne currently works at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, where she has been leading the integration of Takeda and Shire Pharmaceutical Sciences departments since Takeda’s acquisition of Shire in 2019. Anne and her husband John (also Course X PhD) live in Newton and
have two sons and a daughter, all in graduate school or college. Anne enjoys running and hiking, but her passion is rowing. During the warmer months, she can often be found navigating the Charles River in a single sculling shell.<br>

and time tables. At home some of us negotiate child care pick up and drop off, who is making dinner and who stays home when the kids are sick. While men and women are equally skilled negotiators, women face some additional challenges. Not only were many of
us not raised to advocate for our own interests, but we sometimes pay a social cost when we assert our needs and interests. We’ll dive into what we negotiate, our beliefs around advocating for ourselves, how to mitigate others’ negative perceptions when we
assert our interests and two tools for increasing our effectiveness. You will leave with a better understanding of what is getting in your way and what to do about it. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#4A4A4A"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
