Through an initiative of Prof. Nicola Spadin (ETHZ), a member of NCCR MARVEL, a one day workshop with Nancy Houfek will be organised at EPFL on 16 October 2015 for women PhD students and postdocs from the NCCR.
Two similar workshops will be organised on 12 and 14 October in Zurich (one for women PhD students and postdocs; 1 for women professors).
Nancy Houfek is a stage director, actor and theatre educator. From 1997 to 2014, she was Head of Voice and Speech for the Tony Award winning American Repertory Theater at Harvard, teaching vocal production, coaching the professional acting company, and administering the M.F.A. program in voice training pedagogy. She has also created a series of workshops designed to help women with negotiation and leadership challenges, which has been presented to more than one hundred institutions and professional groups throughout the U.S. and Canada (http://www.nancyhoufek.com/index.shtml)
The workshop at EPFL on 16 October 2015 will thus be quite a unique occasion for women researchers in Switzerland to attend. As the initiative was launched by NCCR MARVEL, we would like to propose to NCCRs Robotics and Synapsy to open this workshop with Nancy Houfek to their women PhD students and postdocs (and to women professors from the respective NCCR, provided they are willing to travel to Zurich).
Further detail on the workshop with Nancy Houfek program will shortly be available on the MARVEL website. (www.nccr-marvel.ch).
