Alum Lynn Schmidt, PhD’09 and Her Book Antisexist: Challenge Sexism, Champion Women’s Rights, and Create Equality

2022-06-13T14:23:43-07:00

Join Us for the Virtual Meet the Author Event To raise the issue of sexism, Fielding alum Lynn Schmidt, Ph.D. (HOD’09 and EBC’12), wrote Antisexist: Challenge Sexism, Champion Women’s Rights, and Create Equality to explore what sexism is, how it impacts women, one’s role in perpetuating sexism, and how to stop it. With that in mind, the book was published on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2022, an event campaign to #BreakTheBias this year. Everyone has sexist biases, implicit or explicit. A United Nations study reported that nine out of ten men and women have at least one deeply [...]

International Women’s Day: Dr. Orlando L. Taylor Reflects on the Legacy of Dr. Marie Fielder

2022-03-08T18:16:14-08:00

by Orlando Taylor, PhD Distinguished Senior Advisor to the President, and Director of the Marie Fielder Center for Democracy, Leadership, and Education The origin of the phrase “A rising tide lifts all boats” is often—and incorrectly—attributed to John F Kennedy in a speech he made in 1963 in support of a dam project. The aphorism, or a version thereof, has been around for centuries in the Chinese language. Regardless of the source, the phrase is most appropriate to remember during Women’s History Month since many of the enormous accomplishments and contributions of women of diverse races, cultures, and nations have [...]

Unmasking: The Journey Home

2022-02-18T21:39:53-08:00

Coaching in Context series Unmasking: The Journey Home As we go through life or experience challenging or traumatic events and experiences, we develop different protective mechanisms for surviving and thriving. Over time, those shields or masks become a part of our identity, how we see ourselves and how we show up in the world.    We eventually forget that we no longer need those masks to thrive but are unwilling to take them off for fear of who and what it will reveal or that we will not survive without them. Sometimes, we are unable to take them [...]
