In this bonus episode of The Higher Ed Pulse recorded live at HighEdWeb 2024, Mallory Willsea sits down with Melanie Lindahl, Senior UX/Web Designer, Developer, and Project Manager at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. Together, they dive into Melanie's career journey, the challenges of working in male-dominated spaces, and the importance of advocating for oneself in the workplace. They also reflect on the significance of creating inclusive environments, particularly within the higher education web community.Key TakeawaysMulti-faceted career paths: Embrace diverse roles that align with your strengths, whether in design, development, or leadership.Navigating male-dominated spaces: Acknowledge and address microaggressions, and understand the importance of standing up for oneself.Advocacy and empowerment: Women need to advocate for themselves in professional settings and find supportive communities, even when it feels intimidating.Importance of words and communication: The language used in the workplace, especially in male-dominated spaces, can reveal underlying biases and impact perceptions.Inclusive communities: Spaces like the Hi Ed Web community offer supportive environments for individuals navigating tech and web development in higher ed.How did Melanie Lindahl's multifaceted career develop?Melanie's career in web development, UX, and project management evolved naturally from her artistic background and meticulous personality. Her journey highlights the importance of balancing creativity and leadership skills. She speaks passionately about her love for organization, which drew her toward project management, and how coding matched her detail-oriented nature. As a result, her career encompasses a wide range of responsibilities, including web design, development, and leadership roles.What challenges has she faced as a woman in tech?As the only woman on both her direct team and the broader IT team, Melanie has had to navigate a male-dominated space. While her team is supportive, she recognizes that working without female camaraderie brings its own challenges. Throughout her career, she's encountered microaggressions—subtle and often unintentional behaviors or remarks that undermine women's authority. For example, she has observed male colleagues using dismissive language to describe female leaders. These experiences highlight the systemic issues that persist in workplace cultures, especially around gender dynamics.What advice does Melanie have for women entering similar spaces?For young women starting their careers, Melanie emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy. Drawing from her own experiences, she encourages women to stand up for themselves, even when it feels uncomfortable or risky. She also recommends reading “The Feminist Fight Club,” a book that provides practical strategies for handling workplace challenges. While standing up to microaggressions can be intimidating, Melanie stresses that women must be their own advocates, as they are often their best and only champions in these situations.Are there support systems available for women in male-dominated fields?Melanie acknowledges the complexities of creating formal women's support groups, especially within institutions bound by Title IX regulations. While it is important to have spaces where women can share experiences, the obligation to report sensitive issues can make these spaces feel less safe. Nevertheless, Melanie expresses her desire to foster community among women in her department and is hopeful about finding ways to support female colleagues in the future.What makes the HEW community special?Melanie highlights the inclusivity and supportiveness of the HEW community, soon to be rebranded as the Digital Collegium. She describes it as a place where she feels heard, safe, and valued, encouraging others to join this space as they enter the higher education web development field. This sense of belonging contrasts with her experiences in male-dominated teams, emphasizing the importance of finding professional networks that champion inclusion and empathy.In closing, Melanie and Mallory reflect on the value of conferences like HEW for creating space to discuss critical topics such as gender dynamics in the workplace. Melanie's insights serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusive communities and the need for ongoing conversations around advocacy and empowerment. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Jessica Bennett has spent a prolific, award-winning career writing and reporting about gender, sexuality, politics, and culture, including as the first-ever Gender Editor for The New York Times, and now as a contributing writer & editor. She has profiled - and shaped our collective understanding of - numerous public figures including Jennifer Aniston, Pamela Anderson, Monica Lewinsky, E. Jean Carroll, Governor Kathy Hochul and Anita Hill. Jessica's book, "Feminist Fight Club," offered solutions for fighting workplace inequality and gender bias, and her current podcast, "In Retrospect," with co-host Susie Banikarim, looks back on cultural moments from the past few decades and rethinks our collective - and often extremely dated - response. It's all giving her a lot to think about right now as she ponders what's next in a decimated media environment as it seems like, yet again, everything is changing. In this episode of "Your New Life Blend," host Shoshanna Hecht sits down with Jessica to discuss our shifting attitudes as a society (and as an ambitious, high- achieving women), how to carve out your own job description, and above all, how to roll with an ever-changing world when sometimes what you really want is a nap.Website:https://www.jessicabennett.comBooks:Feminist Fight Club: A Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace This Is 18: Girls' Lives Through Girls' Eyeshttps://www.jessicabennett.com/booksNew York Times stories:https://www.nytimes.com/by/jessica-bennettPodcast:In Retrospect with Susie Banikarim and Jessica Bennetthttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-in-retrospect-with-susie-122206786/Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/jessicabennetthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jess7bennetthttps://twitter.com/jessicabennett

The men in the office called them “Dollies,” and they had had enough. In 1970, 46 women who were not allowed to be writers sued Newsweek magazine for gender discrimination – paving the way for generations of women journalists to follow. Jess reflects on discovering that story when she was a young staffer at Newsweek four decades later, and how it led to her first book, Feminist Fight Club, which was inspired by those women. Plus, Susie asks what's changed for women reporters today.  FOR MORE:  Are We There Yet?

As the pandemic forces so many households to juggle full time childcare with full time jobs, many women feel like they are being forced to “lean out” of their paid work. In this episode we unpack the impact Sheryl Sandberg's book, “Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead,” had on our lives, careers, and parenting decisions. It burned both of us, and we tell you why. We dream of a feminism that is bigger than “Lean In,” and share some resources that have guided us along the way.

Who is Lynn-Ann Gries?     Lynn-Ann Gries has spent her career in the financial arena. From investment banking to venture capital she has experience working with a wide range of companies, from start-ups to those in the Fortune 1000.    She began her career in the mid-80s working for two investment banking firms in New York, Smith Barney and Morgan Stanley. When marriage brought her to the Midwest she began working for the regional firm McDonald and Company, now part of KeyBank. At McDonald she was primarily responsible for helping companies access capital through the public equity markets, but also assisted  companies in the processes of raising growth capital or transitioning ownership through sales or mergers.    In 2001 she began working in venture capital, managing a small venture development fund with a mission to invest in tech-based start-ups. Over the course of 12 years she and her team invested $30M in 80 companies, all located in Northeast Ohio, including CoverMyMeds (sold to McKesson for $1.1 billion), CardioInsight (sold to Medtronic for $90 million), Wireless Environment (recently sold to Ring for an undisclosed amount) and OnShift, one of the Northeast Ohio region’s premier software companies.     As of July 2018, she is the newly hired Managing Partner of the First Check Fund, the newest in a family of 15+ funds managed by Alumni Ventures Group. She also runs her own consulting firm providing a variety of business services including management of a women’s angel network, financial analysis, market research, and advisory services to entrepreneurs seeking capital. She currently serves on the boards of the Smith College Club of Cleveland, Summer on the Cuyahoga  and In Counsel with Women.     Lynn-Ann received her MBA from New York University (Stern School of Business) and holds a Bachelor of Arts from Smith College where she majored in Economics. She is mom to two grown children and resides in Shaker Heights with her husband, a sixth generation Clevelander, high school lacrosse coach and devoted Cleveland sports fan who has successfully managed to turn a Jersey into a Cleveland Indians superfan.     Show Highlights  Lynn-Ann shared her background starting in New Jersey and ultimately in Cleveland, OH including her time investment banking and early stage investing in the Midwest.  Lynn-Ann goes into detail on economic redevelopment in Ohio and her work with Jumpstart and the Ohio Third Frontier Program.       Lynn-Ann talks about how she used to think that women didn’t need any preferential treatment to get funding until she saw the data.  This prompted her to share a female founder deal with her successful female friends that led to syndicating her first deal.   Her goal was to get the women she knew in her community with big jobs, at big corporations, where there is no intersection with an entrepreneur, to bring them together with the female led startups looking for capital.    Terri and Lynn-Ann talk about the importance of getting more women to invest and the difference in risk tolerance between men and women and how this affects investing by women.   Terri and Lynn-Ann discuss doing the work for free to support the female founder and female investor ecosystem and investigating options to monetize the time spent building it.    Lynn-Ann talks about the women starting very small funds to build track record to be able to raise bigger funds at a later date.    If Lynn-Ann could wave a magic wand, she would make universal healthcare coverage a reality.      Terri’s Key Takeaway  We need to continue to build the connections between investors interested in female-led startups to make it easier for them to get access to capital.      References in the Podcast  Komae: https://www.mykomae.com/  Jumpstart:  https://www.jumpstartinc.org/#1  Ohio Third Frontier Program:  https://development.ohio.gov/bs_thirdfrontier/  Sallie Krawcheck:  https://www.ellevatenetwork.com/team/sallie-krawcheck  Feminist Fight Club: https://www.feministfightclub.com/  Jane VC:  https://www.janevc.com/  AngelList:  https://angel.co/  SendaRide:  https://sendaride.com/  FemPire:  https://www.fempiregroup.com/  OseaAngels: https://oseaangelinvestors.com/Page/Home  First Check Fund: https://www.avgfunds.com/first-check/  Alumni Ventures Group (AVG): https://www.avgfunds.com/      Contact  Lynn-Ann can be reached through LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynn-ann-gries-44440/  You can follow Terri on Twitter at @terrihansonmead or go to her website at www.terrihansonmead.com or on Medium:  https://medium.com/@terrihansonmead.   Feel free to email Terri at PilotingYourLife@gmail.com.  To continue the conversation, go to Twitter at @PilotingLife and use hashtag #PilotingYourLife.

Gehaltsverhandlungen sind für die meisten Menschen nichts, worauf sie sich wochenlang freuen. Im Gegenteil sind sie die emotional aufreibendsten Momente des Berufslebens, eine Achterbahn der Gefühle: Vorher ist man vielleicht ängstlich, währenddessen unsicher, nachher eventuell wütend. Für Frauen kommt eine weitere Dimension hinzu: Ihnen wird gesagt, dass sie zu schlecht verhandelten und deshalb selbst Schuld seien an einem Großteil des Gender Pay Gaps, also der Gehaltslücke zwischen Frauen und Männern. Deswegen fragt die zweite Episode des Plan W Podcasts: Gibt es irgendwelche Möglichkeiten, entspannter ins Gehaltsgespräch zu gehen? Kann man die heftigen Emotionen irgendwie besänftigen oder sogar für sich nutzen? Es antworten Autorinnen sowie Expertinnen aus der Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft.

Jessica Bennett is gender editor at The New York Times, where she works to expand global coverage of women and gender across platforms. She is author of Feminist Fight Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace. The book was inspired by sexism she experienced as a junior writer early in her career. She had to learn how to work with men who were often given an unfair advantage, like getting credit for her ideas. Stew and Jessica discuss how Jessica formed the original feminist fight club, which was kept a secret at the start. The support and strength she found in this group led her to write her engaging and very practical book. Jessica uses humor, especially word play, to indicate to men when they have acted inappropriately. For example, “manteruption” occurs when a man speaks over a woman and “bropropriated” is when a man takes credit for a woman’s idea. The intent is to create real conversation infused with humanity about the many subtle, sexist actions that impede social progress toward an egalitarian world.

In contemporary U.S. politics, anger is a potent force that cements new communities even as it fractures others. In this presentation. Dr. Griffin looks at social media content that circulated during and after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election in order to parse out the relationships it forges between gender, activism, and political culture online. First, Dr. Hollis examines "Biden memes," which use imagined text and images of former Vice President Biden as a humorous way to express leftist anger. Second, he examines a meme created by writer and performer Amanda Duarte and "Feminist Fight Club" author Jessica Bennett. This meme gives voice to a sex-specific form of anger directed at comments made by then-Presidential candidate Donald Trump on the campaign trail. While both memes feature ideas about anger and gender, their difference in tone - one humorous, one not - suggests different relationships to time. Dr. Griffin's research questions reside in that difference. How do we understand the anger about politics that circulates on social media in relation to cultural mores regarding sex and gender? How does anger operate as a motivating force for activism? How does the intensity of anger relate to the sustainability of active efforts? Finally, what does the circulation of anger on social media tell us about gender and U.S. politics more generally? From the Tuesday Lunch lecture series

We have explored the stories of many Modern Athenas throughout history. In this podcast, we thought we would take a bit of a different approach and talk about the book Feminist Fight Club, by Jessica Bennett. The book started as a monthly huddle of a group of women in a friend’s apartment burning off steam about their frustrations with their sexist male co-workers. Jessica blends the stories of the group with some research, statistics, and advise in a humorous way that empowers women to take on the sexist behavior and to destroy the self-sabotage that we engage in on a daily basis.

Jessica Bennett is Amanda's new true heroine and she is her self confessed English stalker – Instagram and Facebook has never been so scoured!Jessica is the author of the life changing book Feminist Fight Club as well as a writer for the New York Times. Having worked in corporates such as Tumbler and having to put up with avoiding the males shooting ping pong balls across the office as they try to ‘out-bro’ each other, being called out for being on her period when she just didn’t agree with a male colleague, she thought enough was enough and she set up an underground group with fellow journalists, set designers, TV producers to help other females struggling in the male dominated workplaces. FFC is about a serious topic but Jessica throws in some serious humour, Amanda was caught LOLing rather loudly whilst reading the book on her bed whilst the kids got ready for bedtime. One evening Amanda's daughter requested that she should read her snippets from the book as she had forgotten her school reading book. That was a wise move and now she is alert to the common practise of manterrupting. Jessica said she needs to consider doing a ‘cleaner’ version for school kids. Amanda says FEMINIST FIGHT CLUB is a must for mothers kissing goodbye to their daughters as they leave for Uni or their internships. Buy the book to find out more about ‘bromanteaux" such as manterrupting, the Menstruhater, the Undermine-Her and the call to arms! Get those hairgrips into place we gals are going into battle! And yes, grab a Boast Bitch to sing your praises when you are in need of a little self-promotion!

Are you a nasty woman? We hope so. How this insult has become a badge of honor for women. Behind every successful man is a woman. So when a marriage breaks down, who ends up worse off? Taylor Swift got groped on the arse by a man and her response was exactly what we all need. Australias most Instagram famous toddler, Sonny Blake, isn’t just cute. Some say he is changing the perception of modern fatherhood. And is asking a woman when she plans on having a baby a)none of your business or b)none of your actual business?   Show Notes Your host and producer is Monique Bowley with Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens We recommend you listen to Ideas At The House with Anne-Marie Slaughter Mia recommends Black Mirror Season Two on Netflix Monz recommends Feminist Fight Club by Jessica Bennet Jessie recommends this video on how Hamish and Andy make their show.

In her part-manual, part-manifesto “Feminist Fightclub”, journalist and critic Jessica Bennett brings together the personal stories of a group of women who met regularly in New York City to explore and confront the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that continue to plague women in the workplace —as well as the system that perpetuates them. At the RSA, Jessica Bennett joins us for a special “in conversation” event to share these revealing workplace stats and stories. A leading voice in feminist popular culture today, Bennett offers a new vocabulary for all-too familiar sexist archetypes, and her combat techniques provide practical hacks for pushing back.

Journalist Jessica Bennett and her friends were all creatives striving for professional success in New York City. But some subtle (and not so subtle) bouts of sexism in the workplace were getting in the way of their hustle. So they sought refuge by creating a feminist fight club - a group of New York women in creative fields who meet once a month to share advice, vent, and support each other through their careers. Jessica's penned her difficult workplace experiences, hilarious tips, and other useful advice for women in the workplace in her new book Feminist Fight Club. Jessica is an award-winning journalist and critic who writes on gender issues, sexuality and culture. She is a feature writer and columnist at The New York Times and her work has also appeared in Newsweek, where she began her career as a staff writer. On the podcast, Jessica discusses her early days as a crime beat reporter, who a bropropriator is, and why women should support other women.
