[Wamvan] Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

Sun Feb 23 20:29:55 PST 2014

Hi Joanna:

I was at the Andrea Smith event that happened and live-tweeted it. For some
reason it's disappeared from my @ChambersNadine twitter account. I
hashtagged each #SAAMUBC and I can't track them there either.  I also
twittered out the Round Table on Oct 24th or 25th and they have ghosted as
well. Not sure how that happens because I don't use this account that
often.

There's a trace of the Leanne Simpson event as well but not all of what I
tweeted out.  Think I'm moving to Storify to capture the effort.

Nadine

Just did the Health beyond Bars Friday session - let's see how long those
last.....

>>>>
>>>> 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.
