>> Hi folks,
>>
>> Just letting you know about this free event coming up on Thursday at The
>> Gallery (UBC SUB) at 6 p.m.. Hope to see some of you there!

>> Here's the event description:
>>
>>
>>
>> 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.
