Meet HBS Professor Kathleen McGinn, March 11th


La Columbe D'Or,

[meet in the Penthouse]



Join the Harvard University Club and the HBS Club in the Penthouse at La Columbe D'Or on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and help us give a big Texas welcome to HBS Professor Kathleen McGinn.  Ticket pricing includes event admission, soft drinks, light appetizers and valet parking.


Professor McGinn will discuss her new case: The Harvard Club of New York opens its doors to women which will lead into an interactive discussion on the reasons change is resisted in organizations and what people and organizations can do to help create positive change.


Case Description:
In the spring of 1972, as President Nixon signed Title IX into law, prohibiting discrimination in education on the basis of sex,HBS alumni fought against sex discrimination on a more local front.  A small group of HBS women pushed the president and board of the Harvard Club of New York to allow female members.  The opening of the Harvard Club to women offers a glimpse into what it takes to make change happen and provides perspective as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of women at HBS. Learning about the struggle of many to create change in the past offers lessons for those who push for positive changes for the underserved and under-recognized today.


About Professor McGinn (see important links):
Professor McGinn studies the role of interpersonal relationships and gender at work and in negotiations using both laboratory and field methodologies.  Her current field research investigates these issues in U.S. professional service firms, among self-employed women in India, and in relation to health and welfare outcomes for young women in Zambia.  For more on Professor McGinn, click HERE.  And for an article about her recent research, click ARTICLE.
