>>>>>>> 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!
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> https://www.facebook.com/events/260282587461804/
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> 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.
