The
Center for Gender in Organizations Winter/ Spring 2008 Distinguished Scholar
Speaker Series, Date: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 Time: 12 noon- 1:30pm Place: 409 Commonwealth Avenue, Speaker: Professor Robin Ely, Harvard Topic: Unmasking Masculinity For years, CGO has been
helping organizations relax gendered norms that are a barrier to equity and
effectiveness. This presentation is a case study of offshore oil platforms
where the company accomplished this on its own by focusing solely on
effectiveness. Offshore oil rigs may seem an unlikely place to relax
the masculine gendering of work norms. Yet, this is exactly the
environment in which researcher Robin Ely and co-investigator Debra Meyerson found men proactively adopting traditionally
non-masculine work behaviors such as acknowledging physical limitations,
expressing vulnerability and attending to their own and others emotions. >>Please RSVP to cgo@simmons.edu

Am I Worth? In some
cultures, bargaining is the norm. A buyer or seller makes an offer, and the
other party either accepts or counters the offer. The two negotiate until
they strike a deal or one party walks away. Read

Ringtones with a conscience
No longer just a means of chatting with
pals, cellphones now facilitate social
activism. The mobile phone is the new call to action. A Mexican wolf's eerie howl does double
duty as a ringtone and a reminder of habitat
destruction. Barack Obama's

Because there’s
always something we want to show you but never seem to have enough time to
run it over to you, the SOM librarians have created a blog
(http://somlibrarian.wordpress.com/)
as a clearing house for all items of interest to the Simmons School of
Management community. This blog is currently unnamed, and we would like to invite
the SOM community in helping us to give it a name. Please email suggested
names to wick2@simmons.edu. The winner
will receive web immortality as well as a posh new tote bag! We hope that you find
this blog helpful and if you have any suggested
topics or items to post, please do not hesitate to contact us. Leadership Book Display |
