Unearned Advantage & Disadvantage as Workplace Impediments: How to get clearer, more effective,
and better rewarded in the work we do together
Dr. Peggy McIntosh
Wellesley College
In honor of Equality Day 2009, the Women’s Advisory Committee (WAC) in collaboration with the Goddard Diversity Club is pleased to present Dr. Peggy McIntosh, Associate Director of the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. She is the Founder and Co-director of the S.E.E.D. Project on Inclusive Curriculum (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity).
DESCRIPTION:
Dr. McIntosh says that all organizations benefit when their members understand how circumstantial placement at birth in various sectors of power affect all workers and their interrelationships. In this presentation, she will shed light on several systems of unearned advantage and disadvantage, and how awareness of these systems can increase workplace wisdom and improve institutional relationships among colleagues. Balancing these capacities in the workplace, society, and in the psyche is major work for our time, and balancing this work rewards everyone.
BACKGROUND:
Dr. McIntosh consults widely in the U.S. and throughout the world (China and Korea) with college and school faculty to create more gender-fair and multicultural curricula. In 1988, she published the ground-breaking article entitled “White Privilege and Male Privilege: A Personal Account of Coming to See Correspondences through Work on Women’s Studies.” This article and its shorter form, “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” (1989), have been instrumental in adding the concept of “privilege” into discussions of gender, race and sexuality. She has taught at several institutions, including Harvard, Trinity College, Univ. of Denver, Univ. of Durham (England) and Wellesley College. She is co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Women’s Institute and has been the consulting editor of Sage: A Scholarly Journal on Black Women. She has consulted with women across the country on the development of Women’s Studies and programs to bring materials from Women’s Studies into the main curriculum. She is the recipient of the Klingenstein Award for Distinguished Educational Leadership from Columbia Teachers College, as well as of two honorary degrees.

"Visiones" Episode 1 ~ Reel and Meal Brown Bag Lunch and Discussion
Enjoy your lunch while you view VISIONES, a journey through the music, words, dance, painting, and performance of rich Latino cultures made more complex and fascinating by their history in our country. The series explores how contemporary Latino artists continue to build on rich traditions that reflect a unique multi-ethnic experience, taking established art forms and reinventing them, constantly challenging themselves and the communities which nurture them. From New York City’s breakdancers to mural-painters in Los Angeles and Chicago to theater in Texas, the series offers a unique cross section of Latino artists working today.
Utilizing the talents and skills of Latino producers from around the country, VISIONES presents an emotionally evocative journey into Latino art and culture. VISIONES incorporates unique storytelling, innovative filmmaking, and fresh perspectives to weave an interesting account of the past and its relationship to the present and the future. It is a stirring voyage, one that spans from the colonial period to the present day. VISIONES fleshes out the individual stories, landscapes, and histories-both of the artists and the artistic mediums-to provide a vibrant and more complete outlook on Latino art and culture.
The social, historical, and cultural context of each thirty-minute episode is made clear by the analysis and commentary of artists, scholars, and critics.
You can find out more about VISIONES at: http://www.visiones.org
Episode one features the Latino Mural Movement of the 1960’s, Nuyorican spoken word, and editorial cartoonist Lalo Lopez are featured in the first episode of the series.

The episode includes interviews with Nuyorican poets Pedro Pietri, Piri Thomas, and Caridad (La Bruja).

"Visiones" Episode 3 ~ Reel and Meal Brown Bag Lunch and Discussion
Enjoy your lunch while you view VISIONES, a journey through the music, words, dance, painting, and performance of rich Latino cultures made more complex and fascinating by their history in our country. The series explores how contemporary Latino artists continue to build on rich traditions that reflect a unique multi-ethnic experience, taking established art forms and reinventing them, constantly challenging themselves and the communities which nurture them. From New York City’s breakdancers to mural-painters in Los Angeles and Chicago to theater in Texas, the series offers a unique cross section of Latino artists working today.
Utilizing the talents and skills of Latino producers from around the country, VISIONES presents an emotionally evocative journey into Latino art and culture. VISIONES incorporates unique storytelling, innovative filmmaking, and fresh perspectives to weave an interesting account of the past and its relationship to the present and the future. It is a stirring voyage, one that spans from the colonial period to the present day. VISIONES fleshes out the individual stories, landscapes, and histories-both of the artists and the artistic mediums-to provide a vibrant and more complete outlook on Latino art and culture.
The social, historical, and cultural context of each thirty-minute episode is made clear by the analysis and commentary of artists, scholars, and critics.

The Greening of Cuba” Documentary and Discussion
When trade relations with the socialist block collapsed in 1990, Cuba lost 80 per cent of its pesticides and fertilizer imports and half its petroleum -- the mainstay of its highly industrialized agriculture. Challenged with growing food for 11 million people in the face of the continuing U.S. Embargo, Cuba embarked on the largest conversion to organic farming ever attempted.

Special Presentation Eric Alva.
Cosponsored by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Advisory Committee (GLBTAC) and the Equal Accessibility Advisory Committee (EAAC)
Retired Staff Sergeant Eric Alva was the first American soldier injured in the Iraq War. Hailed as an American hero, Alva was decorated and visited by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, and President George W. Bush. However, he was only able to be true to himself after he left the military, and upon his retirement came out as a gay man.
Today, Eric Alva is a gay rights activist and spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign, where he speaks out against the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Alva has teamed up with members of Congress to help put an end to this discriminatory practice. Not only is Eric Alva a truly heroic man, but through his powerful message of hope and confidence he is making the world a better place for all those who have felt the pains of discrimination and hate.
