>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 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.
