Join us to view and meet the creators of humorous short films depicting challenges women face in the workplace. Converse and connect on how storytelling shapes perceptions, and the responsibility of film makers.
We will screen short films from Womanhood: The Series (Season 2) that use humor to explore the cultural attitudes and biases that women face in STEM or any male-dominated workplaces. Meet the filmmakers, Jessica McGaugh and Sheila E. Schroeder, and join an expert panel discussion on how storytelling shapes perceptions—and what more authentic representation of women's contributions and capabilities would look like.
Media shapes how we see the world - and the portrayal of women in STEM and other fields in movies and TV reinforces negative stereotypes and discourages women from pursuing these paths.
Admission $15, Students $7.50. Light refreshments served.
We'd love for you to join us. Come to laugh, learn, and inspire change.
