Gender

[close] To create more shared experiences through the OECD Women's Network, we have decided to set up a Book Club to discuss fiction and non-fiction books around the topics of gender, equality, women, and feminism – old and new. Some amazing books are out there - inspiring, funny (or sad), though-provoking and empowering! Why not to use some of our leisure time to read books focused on issues that are of interest to all of us and share our thoughts with each other? Many of us are focused on reading and writing technical papers on a daily basis. Reading literature may help not only enrich our writing style, but is also proven to develop better problem solving skills (see some thoughts on literature, business and economics and why it’s being taught in Harvard Business School). Literature may also help us delve into issues that are not easily described in technical ways. We’ll keep the choice of topics rather broad, and the group will decide which books to read next at its meetings. The group will meet once a month to discuss one book. Happy reading!

[close] Feminist literature and women's history. All the books you're curious about but have never gotten around to reading! Mostly non-fiction, maybe some poetry.

[close] This Group is for former Critical Sexualities Studies minors to have space to share ideas and perspectives on a wide range of research topics, books, and articles.

[close] We read books with big ideas. We talk about them. We learn things. We grow together. What's a *Big Idea*? Something larger than current events and trends that gives us a fresh perspective or understanding on our world. Our reads are not overly partisan. However, we recognize everyone has a point of view, and allow some bias. We identify and engage bias rather than pretend that objectivity exists. Our reads are designed for a broad audience. You don't have to be an economist or physicist to follow.
