Sexual Harassment in Academia (2019)
Throughout the country, people are talking about sexual harassment—and academia is no exception. Join the Office of Research and Federal Relations for a conversation with two of the leaders behind the landmark report Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, issued last year by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).
Dr. Sheila Evans Widnall, Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. Frazier Benya, director of the NASEM Action Collaborative on Preventing Sexual Harassment in Higher Education, will discuss the study’s findings and their impact. Come learn about the next steps in the movement to end gender-based harassment in higher education. Learn more about interventions for preventing sexual harassment and recognizing all types.
