Research-based initiatives to address gender-based violence in US and French universities

Abstract:
In recent years, we have been witnessing a growing concern regarding gender-based and sexual violence on university campuses, particularly in the wake of the MeToo movement. This heightened focus has prompted various efforts to prevent and address campus-based violence. Faculty members have notably stepped up within their universities to drive transformative actions. This seminar provides an opportunity to discuss several such research-based initiatives, which are currently taking place in both the United States and France.
