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

[Eva Suzanne Ball <>]

Holly,

 

I will not be at the conferences this year, but I support your efforts. I think it’s wonderful to have a women’s group as well, but that Sexual Violence needs a separate space to be addressed to avoiding reaffirming the myth that SV is a “women’s issue.”

 

Good luck!

Eva

Hi Holly, the NASPA Women in Student Affairs (WISA) Knowledge Community addresses a broad range of gender-related issues – but sexual violence is certainly one of the issues that is discussed.  While not in any way discouraging you from forming a specific knowledge community on sexual violence issues, you might want to explore WISA to see if it might be useful.

Dear Colleagues:

 

I am in the process of submitting program proposals for NASPA and have come once again to the frustrating realization that neither professional organization has a knowledge community, standing committee, taskforce etc., for sexual and intimate partner violence prevention and response professionals within Higher Ed.  In other words--there is identifiable "home" for our community of practitioners to connect and network, leverage our expertise and raise the profile of our work nationally, and recognize and award important research and practice innovations in our field area at the two most important professional conferences in the Student Affairs professional world.  I'd like to change that! 

 

I am wondering if there are any list members who are planning to attend either conference this year and, if so, would you be interested in co-sponsoring a meet-and-greet session or co-authoring a roundtable proposal?  I think it would be very helpful for our practice community to be able to maximize our time at conferences to learn form each other and grow our professional networks--especially as we are often working with few of no other colleagues in our work at our institution.  Who knows? In time, we may even decide to pursue more formal recognition by NASPA and accrue the benefits of formally organizing that other practice areas already enjoy.

 

Many thanks!

HRM
