Food for Thought
One of the core values of the Center is exploring new ideas in a fun way. And what could be better than doing that over a wonderful meal with other interested (and interesting) women?
Every month we organize dinner, usually at the Women’s University Club, and invite an expert in their field to speak. In the past we’ve had fascinating dinner-time presentations about fourth wave feminists, women on corporate boards, farm sourced food, STEM education for girls, and women winemakers—a wide range of engaging and inspiring topics.
Join us! We have a great time networking, dining, and learning from each other.
Spring 2017 Food for Thought Schedule
What you need to know: the Food for Thought speaker series usually meets on the third Thursday of the month, and occasionally on the fourth. We begin socializing at 5:30 p.m., and convene from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. for food, drinks, speakers, and conversation.
We sell tickets to Food for Thought through our secure payment page. You may buy tickets for a single Food for Thought, or you can now pay for the four events in the spring season and get a 10% discount.
Our highest attended event in this series draws women at all stages in life. We talk about the issues – issues that you help us to identity – what they mean to women, and we share ideas across generations. Each table takes a topic for discussion, and then we facilitate a conversation that allows everyone’s voice to be heard. You don’t want to miss this inspiring event. Some of the hottest topics include: confronting bias, balancing motherhood with career, how does feminism intersection with women of color, can Millennials and Baby Boomers work together, standing up to sexism, and more. We meet at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 22, at the Women’s University Club.Purchase your tickets here
What role to men play in the women’s movement? A look at the men in the crowds around the world during the Women’s March suggest that more men than ever want to show their support for women’s rights. For generations, women leaders have pondered whether men really have a role. Today as some men are increasingly stepping up at home, in the workplace and on the streets, other men don’t believe there are any bias problems left for women. Yet from the United Nation’s He for She campaign to the good guy in the next cubicle at work, how can we build beneficial alliances that still raise up women’s voices?
