#WiseGirl: Sociologist Dr. Michael Kimmel discusses Men, Masculinity, & ...

In today's #WiseGirl video, I talk with sociologist Dr. Michael Kimmel about men, masculinity, patriarchy, equality, #TimesUp and #MeToo. We look at what men need to know about gender and socialization, how equality helps men (and women) live happier and more fulfilled lives, and how men need to challenge other men in/on a culture of silence around sexual harassment.  Kimmel is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender at Stony Brook University and the founder of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities. http://www.michaelkimmel.com/

#WiseGirl: Dr. Diane Goodman talks about race, implicit bias, equity, & ...

In this #WiseGirl video, Dr. Diane Goodman talks about race, implicit bias, equity, systemic social structures and more. She believes that "who we are affects how we view and experience the world and that our differences do not need to divide us. Individuals, institutions and society can be transformed; each of us can play a constructive role." Dr. Goodman also believes that "all people are harmed by systems of inequality and can benefit from greater equity." Please visit her website http://www.dianegoodman.com/ for more information, and she'll be doing a live training in NYC at the end of April with Dr. Tanya O. Williams https://www.authenticseeds.org/ which you can learn more about here: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/635059d16164f3683b90f2abf/files/46e0ce5a-5a33-4b7f-9657-b7872a483139/2018_April_21_22_Racial_Justice_FII_Flyer_1_.pdf

In today's #WiseGirl video, I get the pleasure of speaking with 6-time Grammy-award-winning bassist Christian McBride.

We discuss relationships: men and women, politics, leadership, and more. Find out who inspires Christian and why, and where you can see him on tour next! https://www.christianmcbride.com/
