Prepare to be amazed. This fall, our undergraduate researchers have been hard at work: asking questions, designing research experiments, and gathering data. Join us at the SuperUROP Showcase to see what these imaginative students have accomplished so far. Hosted by MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, this event will offer refreshments and the opportunity to tour the poster session and network with these emerging researchers. Mark your calendar to join us and please forward this invitation to any interested co-workers; we’re looking forward to seeing you.Register Here

Workplaces have traditionally been viewed as “straight spaces” in which queer people passed. As a result, historians have directed limited attention to the experiences of queer people on the job. Queer Career rectifies this, offering an expansive historical look at sexual minorities in the modern American workforce. Arguing that queer workers were more visible than hidden and, against the backdrop of state aggression, vulnerable to employer exploitation, Prof. Margot Canaday positions employment and fear of job loss as central to gay life in postwar America.
