As head of foreign languages and literatures at MIT she established programs in Spanish, Chinese and English Language Studies. She directs the MIT Women’s Oral History Project which has more than 140 digitized interviews available through the MIT archives. This resource gives insight into the history of American women in science and technology as well as MIT’s history of women’s education. Prof. Resnick is President of the International Institute Spain—a Massachusetts Charitable Foundation established in 1870 in Madrid by American educators. Her work there provides broad educational and cultural programs that link scholars from Spain, the U.S and from across the globe.
