"The Aggressives": Race & Sexuality Film and Lunch Discussion
Abigail Francis
Fri Jan 19, 12-01:30pm, Rainbow Lounge, Rainbow Lounge
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
In this striking and illuminating documentary, director Daniel Peddle explores and exposes the secret subculture of New York lesbians living as "agressives". Often mistaken for men, these women range from pretty tomboys to
the blatantly butch, boldly creating their own identities outside of society's established sexual categories. Stripped of pretense, they lead us to fashion shoots and prison cells to reveal their work lives, love lives and social lives. The resulting documentary is the culmination of five years spent uncovering the no appologies lifestyle of six self-identified agressives as they defign their dreams, share their most intimate secrets and reveal their deepest fears.
Sponsors: lbgt@mit, Women's Studies Program, MIT Race-Sexuality Task Force

Realizing the Inner Qualities of Leadership in You
Partha Ghosh, '77
Mon Jan 15 thru Thu Jan 18, 10-12:30am, 32-124
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 50 participants.
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
This program builds on Partha Ghosh's personal experience of leading and working with corporate, political, and government leaders across cultures in more than a dozen nations. It is based on a fundamental premise that irrespective of the background an individual represents, he/she has the innate leadership qualities which could be cultivated, in every person's search for a meaningful and effective life.
The course, building on the analyses of a full spectrum of leaders from Socrates to Andrew Carnegie, from Mother Teresa to Martin Luther King, will help the participants to identify the essential underlying qualities in a leader and then identify their own inner potentials of the "self" for the good of the greater society.
