Staff Reading Initiative

Our next staff reading group session is scheduled for November 30, 3:30 to 5pm, Silverstein Forum, on the first floor of Stiteler Hall.  Dr. Ann Tiao will facilitate a discussion on the article "Why Women Still Can’t Have it All," by Anne-Marie Slaughter. In her article, Slaughter discusses the balancing act that women face while working and raising children at the same time. She also outlines what needs to change both in workplaces and in society to create equal opportunities for all working women.

This initiative represents one of several activities that we hope to establish as part of HEARD (Hub for Equity, Anti-Oppression, Research, and Development). A goal of this reading group is to discuss various readings on topics that interrogate structures of power and the re/production of forms of oppression related to race, religion, gender, class, legal status, citizenship, etc., and to consider how these issues impact our work here at GSE. It is our hope that this reading group will provide opportunities for us to learn from each other as we engage in rich conversations on these topics.
