The exhibition combines landmark commissioned photographs of pregnant women in the workplace, curated by contemporary photographers who reveal the interplay between work and family, and inspiring imagery by high school students who undertook wrkxfmly, the project's original photography assignment brought to over 50 schools nationwide.

Picture Imperfect: Photography of the work x family equation
Tuesday, Nov. 7
4:30 p.m. View the exhibit in the Mazmanian Gallery
5 p.m. Hear the talk with Jane Gottesman in the Forum

Attend the exhibition opening and talk by Jane Gottesman. Showing (work x family) is the vision of Gottesman, whose previous work includes Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like? She believes that through photography we can begin to understand the profound puzzles of work and family life. The exhibit starts with looking, but is more: it is a point of engagement for dialogue and action about work and family issues.

This event is part of FSU's #ThisisHumanities project, and ties into a Family Diversity and Change teach-in that will be occurring across campus in November. We hope you can join us!

FSU Women’s Affinity Group

November 1, 2017
11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m.
O’Connor Hall CIE room 120A

Please join us for our Fall semester event:

Empowerment, Communication & Women

The Women’s Affinity Group* will be showing a TED talk, “Power Poses”, given by social psychologist and Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy.

Amy Cuddy studies nonverbal communication – for example, the way you stand, how you move your hands, or the way you furrow your eyebrows. Things we do that send signals to other people about what we're like in that very moment. But she also studies how those same signals affect the way we think about ourselves.  Discussion questions to follow the video. 

Bring your lunch, and we will provide dessert, coffee and tea.  The hour promises to be entertaining and enlightening!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the group members: Peg Charbonnier, Meghan Maxfield, Deborah Hogan, Jennifer Hyde, Nina Ricci.

*An affinity group is a group of faculty and staff linked by a common purpose, ideology, or interest.  Affinity Groups play a vital role in ensuring an inclusive environment where all are valued, included, and empowered to succeed.  They can provide a collective voice for faculty and staff with common interests, and are affiliated with and receive funding support from the Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Community Engagement (DICE).
