**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**

Campus sexual violence is one of the most controversial topics of the last decade, but few people have actually seen inside a Title IX Office for themselves. Join Nicole Bedera, author of On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence, to learn what schools actually do when someone reports a sexual assault and discuss how the public narrative strayed so far away from the realities of gender inequality on campus. Bedera is a sociologist, an Affiliated Educator at the Center for Institutional Courage, and a co-founder of Beyond Compliance Consulting. Facilitated by Dr. Jennifer M. Gómez, a Black feminist sexual violence researcher and author of The Cultural Betrayal of Black Women & Girls.

Registration is CLOSED. This program has been postponed to 2025. Presented in collaboration with the Burlington Library.

RECORDING NOTE: This program (minus the Q&A) will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
