DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to enjoy dignity on the job\, and to build a 
 career dedicated to ensuring every woman can thrive?\n\nDrawing on her jou
 rney from Mount Holyoke to grassroots organizing to executive leadership\,
  Sarita Gupta ’96 connects the dots between personal career pathways and
  the systemic forces shaping women's lives today.\n\nGupta will surface th
 e urgent pressures facing women workers in the US and around the globe\, f
 rom the physical tolls of heat stress to the invisible weight of informali
 ty and unpaid care. She will offer a provocative look at the digital age\,
  examining how AI and automation are currently doing to working-class wome
 n what deindustrialization once did to blue-collar men.\n\nYet\, the core 
 of this talk is collective power. Exploring the phrase "the world of work\
 ," a game-changing term won by women workers at the International Labor Co
 nference\, Gupta celebrates the transformations that are being driven by w
 omen-led movements\, from SEWA and the International Domestic Workers Fede
 ration\, to the Model Alliance and Jobs with Justice. This session is an i
 nvitation to learn how women-led movements are moving beyond navigating th
 e world of work to designing a more equitable future for every worker. Thi
 s session\, ultimately\, is an invitation to lead together.\n\nSarita Gupt
 a ’96 is vice president of U.S. programs at the Ford Foundation\, overse
 eing the foundation’s domestic work\, including Civic Engagement and Gov
 ernment\, Creativity and Free Expression\, Future of Work(ers)\, Technolog
 y and Society\, Disability Rights\, and Gender\, Racial\, and Ethnic Justi
 ce. She develops vision and strategy to address the political\, economic a
 nd cultural drivers of inequality. Gupta joined the foundation in 2019 as

 ve Director of Jobs With Justice and Co-Director of Caring Across Generati
 ons. She is the co-author of The Future We Need: Organizing for a Better D
 emocracy in the Twenty-First Century.\n\nThis event is cosponsored by the
