ADW 2019 Presents: Exploring the Intersection of Motherhood & Work
Austin Design Week 2019 Presents: Exploring the Intersection of Motherhood & Work
Organized by: #bossbabesATX and Collegiate Mom Coalition
For this Austin Design Week discussion, #bossbabesATX and Collegiate Mom Coalition have partnered to discuss the way our workspaces and community spaces are not designed for working parents—particularly working mothers.
Although we have revolutionized the workforce in America and more and more women go to work, we have yet to properly value and address the labor of care-taking. Convening working parents, this panel will discuss the sexist systems and stereotypes within the design of our workplaces that contribute toward leaving working moms behind. The panel will also present some possible approaches to making more space for mothers in the workplace: like challenging implicit bias around motherhood, creating flexible work hours and schedules and dismantling the concepts and pressures of work/life balance.
This event is kid-friendly and will have activities for those who choose to bring along little babes.
About the Instructors:

About the Organizers:
Collegiate Mom Coalition — Collegiate Mom Coaltion aims to serve as a source of excellence for moms pursuing their undergraduate degree by providing scholarships, programs that enhance their education, workshops to fine tune professional skills, access to resources that encourage economic growth and platforms that build social involvement. We are advocates for a family friendly university that cultivates tangible success for women in college with children.
#bossbabesATX — We’re a Texas-based nonprofit that amplifies and connects women and nonbinary creatives, entrepreneurs and organizers. We create space to share our crafts, catalyze multi-industry coalitions, promote intersectionality across disciplines, seek guidance and provide each other with practical and emotional resources. Anyone interested in our mission, core values, and initiatives are invited to participate—and learn more about how intersectional gender equality can improve their daily lives. We provide 1500 opportunities to women and nonbinary creatives, entrepreneurs and community organizers per year. More than 15,000+ community members also annually attend our showcases, markets and dialogues—and in the last three years, our programs generated an additional $1million for the Austin economy. So, whether you apply to participate in one of our programs, attend our workshops, conferences and dialogues, or come out to a festival or market to support the community we’re building, you’re a member of this movement. All babes, all people, are welcome. Learn more at bossbabes.org.
