Tuesday 4 April 12:00pm Education, Opportunity and Prosperity Kenyan social activist Kakenya Ntaiya will take part in a discussion about "Education, Opportunity and Prosperity" in Kenya as part of the Policy in Progress: Investing in Women for Peace, Security and Stability series. Engaged at the age of 5, Kakenya was supposed to participate in a circumcision ceremony as a teenager and then get married. She had very different plans that started with a negotiation with her father to postpone the ceremony in order to broaden her educational pursuits. Eventually, she would establish the Kakenya Center for Excellence, an organization that strives to provide a holistic educational program for rural girls in Kenya and put an end to genital mutilation and child marriage. Sponsored by the Africa Initiative and Women Empowered, the discussion will be hosted by Watson Institute senior fellow Pamela Reeves.

Despite women of underrepresented minorities being identified as valuable sources of talent in order to fill positions available in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), they continue to face challenges that contribute to their underrepresentation in scientific fields, according to Ong. Ong will discuss some of her research on women of color; identify common sources of isolation and micro-aggressions that contribute to their underrepresentation; and describe individual and institutional strategies to increase womens' participation in STEM careers. Co-sponsored by the Annenberg Institute for School Reform, the event begins at 4 p.m. in Brown-RISD Hillel, Winnick Chapel, 80 Brown St. https://www.brown.edu/academics/race-ethnicity/events/2017/04/mia-ong-experiences-intersectionality-women-color-stem-individual-and-institutional-s
