We have an interesting relationship with beauty pageants. While in recent times these events have been criticized for exacerbating stereotypes about womanly beauty, beauty pageants remain to be reflective of America’s complicated and ever-changing concept of womanhood. Hilary Levey Friedman has spent a lifetime’s career unlocking this less-studied subject. A sociologist at Brown University, Hilary merged her mother's past experience as Miss America in 1970 with her own experience as pageant judge and a mentor to Miss America 2018. Her conversation with Dr. Diane Hamilton is a deep dive into the intersections between beauty pageants, sociology and feminism that encourages us to take a good, hard second look at what would initially appear to be a frivolous enterprise.…You don’t have to be in Miss Olympia to be a strong woman, but you can certainly learn a thing or two from one who is. Winning the title at 55 years old, Sheryl Grant realized from her experience that her transforming her body began with transforming her mind. With her company, SGE, she uses her signature product, FIT for Business, to empower millions of women around the world to break their self-imposed barriers and develop the tenacity to take what they deserve in life.

It has never been enough to say “if you build it, they will come,” and as academic communities continue to be reconfigured both online and off, these questions must be at the forefront: build what? Who is building? For whom? By which means and for what purpose? How will we define success? Join us for a ‘behind-the-scenes’ tour of what it means to organize two cutting-edge and collaborative academic communities. This panel considers online communities through two case studies. Sheryl Grant, Director of Social Networking for the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media & Learning Competition, works with hundreds of grantees and their winning projects from around the world. Young innovators, academics, entrepreneurs, activists, educators, students and other grantees use social media to collaborate, socialize, share their work, and network with others in the interdisciplinary field of digital media and learning. Fiona Barnett is the Director of HASTAC Scholars, a program that is now in its 4th year, and is comprised of roughly 200 students a year. The Scholars hail from 75 different universities and literally every academic department and discipline, and join as a community to think about the intersection of digital media, technology and learning from a variety of perspectives. These two communities are structurally quite different, but as organizers, we have encountered the same questions, including what it means to collaborate across disciplines, methodologies, geographical space, time zones, and engage with projects that push the boundaries of public-private endeavors. After many years behind the scenes, we are starting to make sense of the numerous struggles and victories, and will discuss questions such as: (1) what it means to collaborate by difference; (2) how to negotiate the tensions between consensus, collaboration and collectivity when building a community; (3) how to identify both technological and cultural solutions to problems; and (4) how to support the types of institutional and interpersonal changes necessary to imagine these new communities.
