“Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”

— William Faulkner, born September 25th, 1897.

6 TED-Ed lessons to watch on International Women’s Day

Happy International Women’s Day! Here’s a list of TED-Ed Lessons to watch as you celebrate all of the world’s women, past and present.

The genius of Marie Curie: Marie Skłodowska Curie’s revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie Skłodowska Curie’s most revolutionary discoveries.

The contributions of female explorers: During the Victorian Age, women were unlikely to become great explorers, but a few intelligent, gritty and brave women made major contributions to the study of previously little-understood territory. Courtney Stephens examines three women – Marianne North, Mary Kingsley and Alexandra David-Néel – who wouldn’t take no for an answer (and shows why we should be grateful that they didn’t).

Equality, sports and Title IX: In 1972, U.S. Congress passed Title IX, a law which prohibited discrimination against women in schools, colleges, and universities — including school-sponsored sports. Before this law, female athletes were few and far between, and funding was even scarcer. Erin Buzuvis and Kristine Newhall explore the significance and complexity of Title IX.

The true story of Sacajawea: In the early 19th century, a young Agaidika teenager named Sacajawea was enlisted by explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to aid her husband Toussaint Charbonneau as a guide to the Western United States. Karen Mensing debunks some of the myths that surround the familiar image of the heroic woman with a baby strapped to her back and a vast knowledge of the American wilderness.

Why should you read Virginia Woolf?: How best can we understand the internal experience of alienation? In both her essays and her fiction, Virginia Woolf shapes the slippery nature of subjective experience into words, while her characters frequently lead inner lives that are deeply at odds with their external existence. Iseult Gillespie helps make sense of these disparities to prepare you for the next time you read Virgina Woolf.

The pharaoh that wouldn’t be forgotten: Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh during the New Kingdom in Egypt. Twenty years after her death, somebody smashed her statues, took a chisel and attempted to erase the pharaoh’s name and image from history. But who did it? And why? Kate Green investigates Hatshepsut’s history for clues to this ancient puzzle.

Our #Scottsdale #Diversity & #Inclusion Council hosted its first ARG Fair at our Gainey campus in the motor court, taking advantage of the gorgeous #Arizona weather. Here is Salem, a very friendly, majestic Great Dane posing on the #nationwide blue carpet representing PAWS ARG, touting D&I mantra: #allareWElcome. Salem was definitely a personal favorite! ARG booths included: PAWS (# pets issues, adoption), MARG (#military support), All #Women, NLA (#latino support), D&I, PRIDE (#humanrights), Talking with Signs (#signing for the deaf), #Toastmasters (public speaking), #NPAC (political action), #Scottsdale Singers (perform, compose lyrics for special events), AWS (#wellness), AWARE (#AfricanAmerican Women support), NBA (supporting African American men), and Green Team (#environmental), among others. Besides raising awareness for the ARGs, it was a busy day that included music, games, prize drawings, a wealth of information, speeches, goodie bags, giveaways, and, of course, food & beverages. #Nationwide #WE #allareWElcome #SWROcks #culture (at Scottsdale, Arizona)
