Sexual Violence on Campus: A Primer is a virtual workshop that explores the campus sexual violence landscape in Canada. We confront the issue by examining: the history of universities and the academy in Canada, including its exclusion of women and other marginal groups; the expansion of universities in the 1960s and the rise of the neoliberal state in the 1970s; the legal and policy frameworks that currently govern the issue in and across Canada; and the lived experiences and prevalence of sexual violence in campus settings. We will also be sharing information about the Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO). The workshop will be facilitated by Ravita Surajbali, Evaluation Specialist with SVPRO.

This month, we will be discussing The Strategic Importance of DEI in Higher Education with our colleagues in the Faculties of Engineering and Science. Those registering will be asked if they prefer to join an in-person or virtual circle, and the format will be decided based on the responses received.

This event is organized by the Faculty of Mathematics.

This presentation will cover highlights of deceptively simple concepts theorized by Indigenous scholars for community-engaged research projects—known as the “Decolonial “R’s” of Research”—and together, we will consider their expansive meanings and implications in a typical university-based research project lifecycle.
