Hi,
Recently I've been thinking about the subtle (and not so subtle) ways in which gender influence our everyday interactions and policies on a larger scale. I think that for whatever reason the value of friendships and networks between women has been overlooked, and that there's a lot to be gained by investing in them.
I'd like to create a group of women who are interested in exploring the ways in which gender is infused in our society, with the hopes that through raising our own awareness, we can find ways to promote change in our own lives and maybe more broadly.
I was thinking like a potluck dinner every 2-3 weeks, with members rotating in who organized the topic (e.g. work-family balance, body images, sexual violence, women in science, media portrayals of women, women in politics)--my agenda is mainly to get a productive dialogue going and find women who are interested in engaging around these topics. I think about these things fairly regularly and would love to hear the thoughts of others.
Please shoot me an e-mail if you'd be interested. I was thinking that we'd meet in the Harvard/Cambridge area, but I guess I'll see what makes sense based on responses.
Thanks!
