#MeTooPoliSci

Wed, August 29, 9:00am to 5:00pm, Sheraton, Gardner

Session Submission Type: Wednesday Full Day Short Course

Session Description

Started by Tarana Burke in 2007 to stand with young women of color who survived sexual assault, the Me Too campaign was intended to let women know that they were not alone. Today, the phrase is now a viral awareness campaign on social media that has inspired others to share their stories, stand in solidarity with survivors, and to challenge a culture of pervasive sexual assault and harassment. The Women’s Caucus will use #MeTooPoliSci to bring awareness to sexual harassment, assault and misconduct in our discipline. We seek to use our collective power to dispel the shame, embarrassment and secrecy that surrounds these issues. Stand with us.

This daylong event will feature panels, roundtables and a plenary session on helping to empower womyn and our allies to use their influence to combat sexual harassment and misconduct in our disincline.

This short course is co-sponsored by the APSA Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession.
