Session 1: Negotiating Time & Happiness | June 15, 2022

Time is our most valuable resource. Yet, working women are more time poor than working men, are less likely to negotiate for time on adjustable deadlines at work and are less likely to delegate tasks. Women also spend more time on non-promotable assignments. In this session, Prof. Whillans discusses her research on time-use and happiness.

Session 2: Deflecting Power Moves | August 3, 2022

At work, we are often in situations where powerful people try to change our minds. How can we stand-up for ourselves to live our best lives in line with our values? In this session, Prof. Whillans discusses research on how to recognize “power-moves” and how to deflect them in service of acting in line with our values and goals at work and outside of it.

On Tuesday, September 27, the Strauss Center will host professional hacker Tinker, Red Team program architect and an expert in information security, as part of our Tales from the Cybersecurity Front speaker series, to tackle concepts of security, exploitation, and vulnerabilities.

Wendy Nather, Senior Cybersecurity Fellow with the Strauss Center, will moderate.

Lunch will be served. For more information on this event, contact Susan Crane at scrane@austin.utexas.edu.
