[Wamvan] Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

Sun Feb 23 20:45:02 PST 2014

Just made my first storify post. Will be using this more often to ensure
that it gets captured. Twitter has some lame excuses for why your posts can
disappear including being shoved into a hidden timeline but still `
there'.... anyways...

>>>>>> In October, more than 200 students marched in a "Take Back the Night"

>>>>>>
>>>>>> 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
