"Ask and Ye Shall Receive? The Dynamics of Employer-provided Flexible Work Options and the Need for Public Policy"
Location: Palamountain Hall - Davis Auditorium Do managers use ascriptive information in deciding which requests for flexible work scheduling to grant among employees. And, do employees comprehend this managerial bias in deciding whether to ask for flexible work arrangements?Study 1 found that managers were most likely to grant flex-time to high-status men seeking flexible schedules in order to advance their careers. In contrast, flexible scheduling requests from women were unlikely to be granted irrespective of their job status or reason. In Study 2, we found that employees were unaware of these managerial biases: women assigned high-status jobs and requests for career-advancement reasons were the most likely to think their requests would be granted, while men in the same scenarios were least likely to believe this. Organizational and policy implications are discussed. |

Reaching Critical Mass - Women in Faculty and Administrative Roles (Open to faculty/staff only)
Location: Murray-Aikins Dining Hall - Second Floor Banquet Room #4 Luncheon Talk: Faculty concerns over gender inequities surfaced in 2005?2006 at Franklin & Marshall College after new policies relating to childbirth and adoption and tenure clock stoppage were instituted two years prior. These structural changes were empowering and gave women faculty a sense that other meaningful changes were achievable, leading to renewed conversation among the faculty on the issue. This led to Dr. deWet's appointment as Special Assistant to the President and Provost for Women and Family Issues.In this role, she spent twelve months gathering data and working with the Fair Practices Committee to assess all aspects of women (faculty and professional staff) in the institution. Her research indicates that structural change, such as meaningful childbirth and adoption policies, tenure clock adjustments, and so on may be powerful recruiting and retaining tools, but accompanying attitudinal changes are necessary for their ongoing usefulness. Using focus groups and confidential surveys, she observed that individuals in focus groups expressed endmember viewpoints, which were strongly tempered by the survey data. The small groups were valuable in pointing out areas of individual concern, but the survey results indicated that misconceptions and perpetuated myths were not borne out by confidential responses. This was an effective process of re-orienting faculty culture and significantly reduced faculty concerns over perceptions of gender inequity. Critical mass is not necessarily the same as gender parity (equal numbers), but it should lead to gender equity (just or fair circumstances). When the number of women in a given situation reaches what has been referred to as ―critical mass//, issues of isolation, tokenism, and paucity of role models are significantly reduced or eliminated. Having a critical mass of women in the institution ensured that the original concerns were taken seriously and were thoughtfully addressed. |

Lecture by Alison Simmons: "Re-Humanizing Descartes: What Descartes Really Said"
Location: Palamountain Hall - Davis Auditorium Alison Simmons, Samuel H. Wolcott Professor of Philosophy at Harvard University, will be coming to Skidmore to give a talk on Thursday, April 5. She'll be talking about"Re-Humanizing Descartes: What Descartes Really Said" She thinks Descartes has gotten a bad rap among academics, largely due to his mind-body dualism and his quest for Objectivity. But, she argues, that's just a small part of the story, and the story looks quite different when we put it into context. Come to the talk to see how... |

| [2/18 - 6/3] Elevator Music 20: Sharon Hayes
Time: 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM Location:
Tang Teaching Museum
For eight days between December 1, 2007 and January 12, 2008, Sharon Hayes walked from the New Museum at Bowery and Prince Streets in lower Manhattan to a different site of public address, stopping at street corners every few blocks and speaking a single, repeated love address to an anonymous and unnamed lover. Drawing from sources such as De Profundis, Oscar Wilde's letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, and slogans from early gay Liberation parades in New York City, the "love address" uses so-called private speech to get to the emotional imbrication of promise and disappointment in collective political action. Part of a series of works by Hayes that deal with the relationship between personal and political desire and between love and politics, "I March In The Parade Of Liberty, But As Long As I Love You I?m Not Free", raises questions about war, the emotional landscape of protest actions and public speech.
