🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👁The work that makes all other work possible
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Domestic workers are entrusted with the most precious aspects of people's lives -- they're the nannies, the elder-care workers and the house cleaners who do the work that makes all other work possible. Too often, they're invisible, taken for granted or dismissed as \"help,\" yet they continue to do their wholehearted best for the families and homes in their charge. In this sensational talk, activist Ai-Jen Poo shares her efforts to secure equal rights and fair wages for domestic workers and explains how we can all be inspired by them. \"Think like a domestic worker who shows up and cares no matter what,\" she says.

👣What do Game of Thrones' Dothraki, Avatar's Na'vi, Star Trek's Klingon and LOTR's Elvish have in common? They are all fantasy constructed languages, or conlangs. Conlangs have all the delicious complexities of real languages: a high volume of words, grammar rules, and room for messiness and evolution.

👁Your body language may shape who you are
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣(NOTE: Some of the findings presented in this talk have been referenced in an ongoing debate among social scientists about robustness and reproducibility. Read \"Criticisms & updates\" below for more details as well as Amy Cuddy's response.) Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that \"power posing\" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success.

👁3 ways to be a better ally in the workplace
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

In this actionable talk, Epler shares three ways to support people who are underrepresented in the workplace. \"There's no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion,\" she says. \"Change happens one person at a time, one act at a time, one word at a time.\"
