Monika Jones Monika is a first-year student in the Master's in International Policy and Practice (MIPP) program, which is geared towards mid-career professionals. She is currently studying Gender and International Security, specifically about the U.S. Government's efforts to reform the Defense and Diplomacy institutions through an on-going internal process of gender mainstreaming.
"GEIA has expanded my knowledge of gender equality and enabled me to develop gender policy recommendations based on academic research and practical tactics that can be leveraged in the workplace. Most importantly, it has also inspired me. Connecting with and learning from professors and students that are passionate about pursuing gender equality across a range of outlets encourages me to share what I've learned and to always ask 'how does this impact women and what should we all do to improve those outcomes.'"

'Men Explain Things to Me', is a comic, scathing essay by Rebecca Solnit, where she looks at what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. The book speaks about how men wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don't, and about why this arises. She also provides some of her own hilariously awful encounters.
Rebecca Solnit has been an independent writer since 1988. She is also a historian, and an activist. She has authored twenty books on a wide variety of topics, including feminism, western and indigenous history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and disaster.
