SUMMARY:Coded Bias - a Science on Screen presentation as part of Milwaukee Film
DESCRIPTION:When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies misclassify women and darker-skinned faces\, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. “Coded Bias” explores the fallout and Joy’s journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all. \nImmediately prior to the screening\, sociology professor Noelle Chesley will host a discussion on the topic. Her scholarship engages questions regarding the role of technological innovation in shaping the experiences and outcomes of workers and their families. Her current research\, The Job Seeker Experiences Study\, examines connections between job seeking and automated hiring practices. \nScience on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lactation at Work: Expressing Milk\, Expressed Concern\, and the Expressive Value of Law
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Elizabeth Hoffman\, a sociologist from Purdue University\, will present findings from her research on employed mothers. She notes that\, as women entered the US workforce in increasing numbers\, they faced the conundrum of how to maintain breastfeeding and hold down full-time jobs. In 2010\, the Lactation at Work Law (an amendment to the US Fair Labor Standards Act) mandated accommodations for lactating women. Professor Hoffmann’s talk will examine the federal law and its state-level equivalent in Indiana\, drawing on two waves of interviews with human resource personnel\, supervising managers\, and lactating workers. In many ways\, this simple law — requiring break time and privacy for pumping — is a success story. Through advocacy by allies\, education of managers\, and employee initiative\, many organizations created compliant accommodations.  However\, Professor Hoffmann will also challenge the perceived success of the law as truly family-friendly or pro-woman.

SUMMARY:The Tragedy of Heterosexuality in Global Context: A Lecture by Jane Ward
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Women’s & Gender Studies Feminist Lecture Series\, Jane Ward\, Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara\, critiques one of the basic premises of the mainstream LGBT rights movement—that heterosexuality is easier than queerness—by asking for whom\, and under what conditions\, is straightness easier.  \nDrawing from ethnographic field work\, archival research\, and cultural studies methods\, Ward examines the 20th century emergence of a “heterosexual repair industry” — a self-help empire designed to romanticize and ease heterosexual misery while eliding attention to heteropatriarchy and the queer\, feminist interventions poised to undo it. In this talk\, Ward takes her analysis in new directions\, pointing to the global implications of heterosexual misery by analyzing the global “anti-gender” (or “gender critical”) movement and the collective anxiety about gender and sexuality that animates it. Ward conceptualizes “gender critical” projects as expressions of heteroparanoia and psychic dissonance aimed at reconciling the paradoxes of modern heterosexuality\, and offers a feminist assessment of these projects’ trajectories.
