"Where Do You Draw The Line?" - interactive Webinar
Friday 6th December 12:00 - 12:45pm (GMT) Online/Teams
Join Harriet Smailes, PhD researcher, for an interactive webinar titled "Where Do You Draw the Line?" This session will delve into the sexual violence continuum and emphasize the importance of appropriately challenging "lower-level" behaviours, as well as fostering a deeper understanding of consent and respecting boundaries. Harriet, who is conducting PhD research on university-based approaches to sexual violence response (a project the University of Law is participating in), will guide a thought-provoking discussion aimed at examining our own boundaries and perceptions of sexual violence and consent, with the goal of fostering more respectful and safer environments for everyone.
