Have a Seat with the C-Suite

We know that women represent only 4% of all CEO positions in Fortune 500 companies, and while we haven’t reached that level just yet, we are proud to be a company run by female execs. We also have the good fortune of being friends, so we are in near-constant contact about AEC and all the other things we're reading, watching, and trying. Each week, as we find the long reads and life hacks that we love, we invite you inside the C-Suite to hear all about what’s got us buzzing. Have a seat and get comfy!

Reflections on AERA

It’s a rite of passage for education scholars around the world: presenting research at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) annual conference. This year, AERA was in Times Square, the heart of New York City. It is an incredible experience: thousands of presentations on topics ranging from technology to policy trends. Amid the bustle of a Sunday morning, I presented my own work.

Amy: How I got into the work

I still remember the first time I was called bossy. It is an unpleasant memory, since even my 4th grade self realized that it was not a compliment. It may have been the first time, but it was by no means the last. Bossy, abrasive, brusque, and aggressive are all words that we apply to women on a regular basis.

Lauren: How I got into the work

I vividly recall a conversation at an academic conference in which I sat with a group of men who discussed several women at the same conference. This conversation did not address the women’s well-reputed scholarship, innovative methodological approaches, or successful mentoring of graduate students. Instead, the conversation centered on how these women looked and spoke.
