Menopause is a transitional stage in many people’s lives and affects not only people experiencing this stage in life, but those around them including colleagues, family and friends. Education, resources and support have the potential to create more comfortable and inclusive communities and workplaces and empower people through this transition.

Everyone is welcome, all genders, all ages, as we can all benefit from learning more about Menopause. If you are in a leadership role you are encouraged to attend to learn how to better support people in menopause.

Please register on Eventbrite. Seating is limited. The [M] Factor 2: BEFORE THE PAUSE Perimenopause Tickets, Wednesday, Mar 11 from 11:45 am to 1:45 pm | Eventbrite

At a Menopause Café people gather to eat, drink and discuss menopause. Open for all, regardless of gender or age. Menopause can be an isolating experience; our hope is that a menopause cafe can provide some of the support and care people deserve.

No registration required, just drop in.

In this one hour workshop we will be exploring the way gender inequity can lead to workplace harms and ways to disrupt, prevent, and respond to these harms.

We will discuss unconscious bias and the role it can play in everyday interactions as well as what happens when gender-based harms occur.

This workshop is hosted by the Sexual Violence Prevention & Response Office.

AI and deepfake technologies are rapidly evolving tools with significant potential for positive impact. However, they are increasingly being misused to create harmful and exploitative content.

Join us for a 1-hour introductory virtual workshop exploring how sexual violence intersects with technology. We’ll examine how the internet, social media, and direct messaging platforms amplify the speed, scale, and prevalence of abuse in ways we have never experienced before - and what we can do to take collective action against it.

About: We’re launching a new initiative in line with the hype of Netflix's Adolescence, a psychological crime drama that explores themes of masculinity, youth, social media, violence, and the criminal justice system. This four-part series (every Thursday in May) will provide an opportunity for us to gather and unpack each episode, with guided conversations on the show's powerful themes around relationships, boundaries, gender, consent, and growing up. This discussion series offers a brave, welcoming space to reflect on the show’s messages and connect them to real-life experiences. Whether you’ve already seen the show, or are watching it for the first time, we invite you to come with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to learn.

Drop in for one session or join us for the whole series - each episode offers a new opportunity to talk, reflect, and grow - open to everyone, students, staff, and faculty.
