We began building contacts with inspiring Black womxn from a diverse set of backgrounds who we could invite to speak at future gwaMIT events. In collaboration with MIT Institutional Research, we have been analyzing existing survey data to investigate how the
COVID-19 pandemic has affected womxn and underrepresented minorities, and are in the process of designing focus groups in order to gain a more granular understanding of how the intersection of gender and racial identities affects student experiences. We are
also organizing a series of outreach events with Black Girls Code; stay tuned to learn how to get involved if you are interested!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, overcoming brutal harassment, institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize the
culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field sites, we also encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

skills to build the teams and the support needed to implement your ideas. Employers in both academia and industry consistently rank leadership as among their most sought-after skills, and this is even more true today due to the major challenges and changes
we are all facing. As we will discuss, anyone who is motivated to “step up” to these challenges can build leadership skills, but the it takes focus, feedback, and years of practice to become highly effective. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

this course explores the factors that impede women from successful participation in academia. We focus on the academic workplace and explore organizational factors that create gender inequities in academic careers as well as factors deeply rooted in culture
and gender socialization. Furthermore, we discuss programs that promote the advancement of women in academia. A special focus is on science where the underrepresentation of women is most pronounced, and we examine how the situation is different and how it
is similar for women in science and women in other academic fields. This seminar is of particular interest for anyone who aims to pursue an academic career and wants to learn about theories of the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering,
mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and in academic leadership positions more broadly. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

conditions that place gendered, sexualized and racialized bodies and non-human entities at risk. Feminists have written extensively on death, highlighting matters such as sexual and physical violence, reproductive politics, colonial and postcolonial genocides,
slavery and its wakes, war, the environment, mourning, witnessing, memorializing, funeralizing and deathways, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

this course assembles an archive of readings on death through a geopolitical lens. It engages matters of governance, nationalisms, empire, settler colonialism, slavery, and migration across a variety of sites—Central and Southern Africa, South Asia, the Caribbean,
Europe, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America, while turning to feminist scholarship in Critical Race Studies, Indigenous Studies, Postcolonialism, Queer and Trans Studies, Disability Studies, Environmental Studies, among others.

collaborating, listening, and speaking in the interest of producing innovative scholarship and meaningful public engagement. Our seminar will study feminist approaches, theories, and epistemologies that form the intellectual framework necessary to conduct
feminist research both within and across the disciplines. Students will produce a range of written work based on their course reading and research—for example, primary and secondary source analyses, teaching documents, and an academic article-quality research
essay. We will learn to understand and teach our respective research foci through a feminist lens, and to extend this feminist approach into our public engagement outside academia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

dynamics of feminism across place and time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
