Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Michelle N. Issadore" <>]

Hi all,

A student of mine, Gabi Casanas, is interested in researching existing 
faculty models for discussing sexual violence in the classroom. We've 
heard about several instances where faculty have not necessarily been 
unprepared to handle disclosures of sexual violence, but rather are 
presenting sexually violent material (videos, literature, case studies) 
in a way that upsets students who have not been warned of the content OR 
faculty are misstating facts, sharing victim-blaming attitudes, etc when 
peer educators/survivors in the classroom feel silenced and/or powerless 
to speak up.

Does anyone have mandatory faculty training, trigger warnings or 
disclaimers on syllabi, student survivor speaker bureaus, or anything 
else to address such issues? Please reply directly to Gabi at 
.

Much thanks,
Michelle
