Some Words

This page outlines some of my recent writing collaborations. Click the individual post links below, to read more.

I wrote with Dr. Adetoun Yeaman for the Society of Women Engineers' All Together Blog on Empathy as the First Step towards Allyship. "We must be careful to not stop at empathy alone. Empathy helps us get to allyship, where we are sensitized towards and lend support to those who have been systematically marginalized and disadvantaged.  However, true inclusion can only happen when we go beyond empathy and extend ally-ship to accomplice-ship"
I wrote with Dr. Rosh Rupani for the Society of Women Engineers' All Together Blog on Encouraging Engineers to Fight Gender Stereotypes. "Who is to say that a man cannot have traditionally feminine attributes and that a woman cannot have traditionally masculine attributes? Express yourself in your creations the way a three-year-old YOU would!"
One day during the COVID-19 lockdown, as I grappled with my own productivity, I wrote about Productivity in times of a Pandemic for the Society of Women Engineers' All Together Blog. "Remember that during these unprecedented times kindness to one’s own self is of utmost importance. Be kind as you fit into your new routine and your workspace on your kitchen island or laundry basket. You are trying and some days peak productivity for you may equate to showing up. "

I wrote with the Board at the Society of Women Engineers, NY on strategies to succeed at online conferences. "Thanks mostly to the pandemic but also to increased connectivity across the globe, virtual conferences and hybrid ones, seem like they are here to stay. "

Some reflections post attending the United Nations' Ring the Bell for Gender Equality event in March 2020. "If there was one BIG take-away for me from yesterday it was this: I need to actively find, engage with, network with, speak about, advocate for, and promote the work of more and more women who may someday become role-models for others in the world of work."
A partnership between Virginia Tech, in the US and the University of Basel in Switzerland, the Global Perspectives Programme is aimed at preparing future academic leaders for the challenges of an increasingly diverse and globally focused higher education (HE) sector.  This is the link to the report published, which I contributed to as a Fellow of the GPP in 2013.
s part of Open Access Week, the University Libraries and the Graduate School offered a travel scholarship to OpenCon 2015, a conference for early career researchers on open access, open data, and open educational resources.

One home-sick Sunday during the first month of the COVID-19 lockdown, I co-wrote this blog with my mother, Dr. Indrani Bhaduri, on one of our favorite cities. Though we were about 7000 miles apart, it was wonderful how technology allowed us to pen some thoughts down together to be put up on a shared cloud above us.

"The advice that I have for girls or women interested in STEM is the same that my mother offers me. She reminds me of the Sanskrit saying, which ends as – विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रधानम् ॥
Roughly translated, the saying encapsulates the sentiment that what you have learned, through experiences or education, is not in vain. In fact, it is your most prized possession. Your education cannot be stolen from you nor will it ever be a burden. It will only increase even when shared. "
