promoting inclusion, belonging, and community

Derald Wing Sue, Teachers College, Columbia University

Dr. Sue's lecture is part of Diversity & Inclusion @ Stanford, a series of campus-wide learning and discussion opportunities that tackle dimensions and implications of diversity in Stanford's academic life led by the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity with partner offices across the University.

The WISE Inspirations Network at Stanford (WINS) aims to create an engaged Stanford network linking women graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, faculty, and alumnae in STEM fields, and their allies and advocates, through regular meetings and communications.

This WINS meeting will feature Valerie Montgomery Rice, M.D., President and Dean, Morehouse School of Medicine.

What does ‘microaggressions’ mean? Many people are unfamiliar with the term but most are aware of what it is, and what it feels like to be on the receiving end: the small and rather subtle well-intentioned behaviors and statements made by others which reflect an implicit negative bias or perception of a certain individual or group because of their identity.

Dr. Mae Jemison is a physician and NASA-astronaut. She became the first African-American woman to travel in space when she went into orbit aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor on September 12, 1992. Dr. Jemison will speak at Stanford University on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 as a part of the Imagining the Universe: Cosmology in Art and Science programmatic series.

Kathleen Tarr, JD and Erica Cirillo-McCarthy, PhD of Stanford's Program in Writing and Rhetoric will be sharing insights and experiences from "Feminist Transgressions" - the National Women's Studies Association's 2014 annual conference in Puerto Rico - and its endeavors to take up the histories, geographies, affective dimensions, and political stakes of various feminist insubordinations in the spaces they occupy: intellectual and institutional, local and global, public and intimate, by choice and under duress.

This hands-on workshop will complement what you are learning in your department, preparing you to use the skills of emotional intelligence in your career and life.

Open to all current Stanford graduate students, space is limited.

If selected, participants will be required to submit a $50 deposit check made out to Stanford University.  Participants must attend all three sessions and checks will be returned upon successful completion of all sessions.
