March 23 | Discussion: Title X and Sexual Violence on U.S Campuses | 12-2 PM @ Webb Center
On Monday, March 23rd, the Department of Communication & Theatre Arts will host a campus discussion focused on sexual harassment and sexism in higher education.
Dr. Kate Lockwood Harris, an assistant professor of organizational communication at the University of Minnesota, will speak from noon to 2 p.m. in the Chesapeake/Portsmouth Room at Webb University Center. Her book, Beyond the Rapist: Title IX and Sexual Violence on U.S. Campuses, focuses on how colleges and universities are talking about and responding to the epidemic of sexual violence on campuses. This talk will be a springboard for a discussion about larger systems of injustice, including the overt and covert forms of sexism and sexual harassment experienced by faculty and graduate students.
Lunch will be provided. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend.
Space is limited, so please RSVP to commdeptevents@gmail.com
