>>> 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.
