[Wamvan] Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

Sun Feb 23 19:36:40 PST 2014

Thanks Jarrah and Angela!

Did anyone else find that the SAAM events calendar link is broken? i've
looked around trying to find a working link but couldn't find one. Can
anyone help? I'd like to promote on WAMVan's facebook page and twitter,
too.

>
> Should we change how we talk about sexual assault in the media?
>
> In October, more than 200 students marched in a "Take Back the Night"
> rally to protest the recent wave of sexual assaults on campus. The goal of
> this event was also to highlight a culture of sexual violence on campus.
>
> From M&M commercials to frosh-week rape chants sung on Canadian university
> campuses, are we living in a society that normalizes and condones rape? How
> can we address situations in the media and society that perpetuates rape
> culture?
>
> As part of UBC Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), The AMS Sexual
> Assault Support Centre (SASC) and the Terry Project are hosting a BARtalk
> that will review the topic of campus rape culture, including a review of
> our own UBC campus.
>
> Our expert panel will include:
>
> ** Lucia Lorenzi is a 4th-year PhD candidate in English at UBC. She's
> currently working on her dissertation, which focuses on the aesthetics and
> politics of silence in narratives of sexual violence. (@empathywarrior)
>
> ** Jarrah Hodge is the author of the award-winning feminist blog Gender
> Focus.com and writes about gender, politics and labour issues. She has also
> written blog series for Bitch Magazine and the Vancouver Observer.
> (@jarrahpenguin)
>
> ** Ashley Bentley is the Assistant Manager of the AMS Sexual Assault
> Support Centre (SASC) and holds a BA in Media and Cultural Studies.
>
> ** Rachel Sullivan is a professor of sociology at UBC, and draws on social
> places and community relations to address sexuality and gender issues.
