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, and Washington Post journalist Maham Javaid 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. In addition to her work at the Washington Post, Javaid is a journalist is a former editor of The Boston Globe.
