The Narrative of Consent
2019 Academic Symposium
Stayer 208
In 2011, the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Education issued a “Dear Colleague Letter” that changed the depth and manner of how universities react to narratives of sexual violence, discrimination, and harassment. Narrative and how it is received is critical in all parts of this process. Case studies will be presented to the audience to consider the nature of narrative in sex and gender-based discrimination or violence cases. The presenter will then facilitate a discussion of how narratives are considered and used to come to resolutions when harms have been alleged.
