Online sexual violence in post-secondary institutions

Presented at the DC Research Café (May 28, 2020). As part of the Douglas College Impacts Research Team, research assistant Ana Brito presents the research to address sexual violence in all its physical and virtual forms in university contexts. Through evidence-based research and partnered collaborations the research informs policies that protect and support survivors and ensure due process for alleged perpetrators. The project facilitates the fostering of inclusive learning environments that are free of intersecting forms of discrimination and violence. Partners, academics and graduate researchers are committed to creative, innovative and critical academic engagement through legal, arts and media literacy to mobilize sustainable and strategic policy and curriculum models that guide university leaders and their communities, and inspire society at large.
