Transgressing White Supremacy in Campus Violence Prevention, Response, & Accountability

Join Sexual Violence Prevention Education, the Department of Title IX, and the Department of Multicultural Life on Tuesday, November 10 at 4 pm CST via Zoom for a conversation with Malik Washington on Transgressing White Supremacy in Campus Violence Prevention, Response, & Accountability.

 Mainstream narratives around campus violence centering white feminists' experiences, perspectives, and advocacy. Those impacted by sexual and relationship violence may avoid acknowledging harm out of distrust of racist institutions, or fear of repercussions for them, their community, and the individual responsible. Those who cause harm may be unduly protected by the community in ways that silence and invalidate survivors’ experiences. This session acknowledges the use of sexual violence in the interest of white supremacy throughout U.S. history and its present-day implications, and offers guidance for navigating these realities in prevention, accountability, and healing work for victims, survivors, and communities. 

 Format: 60 minute presentation and Q & A

 All students, staff and faculty are encouraged to attend.
