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

Chris:

She is a "Regular" on "Oprah."  Here is a link to a full transcript of  
an episode she shared her expertise on:

http://www.oprah.com/relationships/Your-Best-Sex-Life-with-Dr-Laura-Berman-Webcast-Transcript/1

Go through the 19 pages - you'll find it worthwhile if you are looking  
at bringing her to your campus because you really get to see her  
approach.  She is a "full disclosure, hold nothing back" presenter.  
Your decision will weigh greatly on your campus' views of the many  
issues she addresses in the transcript. For instance, she is for the  
use pornography (for the "healthy" use of it).

With the work we do, one concern we have is she seems to be anti  
verbal consent.  On a past episode of "Oprah", both her and Oprah  
Winfrey said "asking first" ruins the moment.  At the same time, she  
is PRO speaking out sexually during sexual activity.

You'll notice I am not giving an endorsement or a negative review.   
Simply trying to give you as much information as possible. She does  
share a lot of sexual education much of our society is lacking.

Thanks for working to make a difference!

Greetings all,

I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the speaker Laura Berman,  
who has a program called "College Relationships 101: Dating, Love and  
the Possibility of Sex".

I am not familiar with her work but she has been recommended by a  
colleague and I would like to gather additional information.

Thanks for your help,

Chris Diggs
