3216 - #MeToo: Organizational Interventions to Prevent Harassment (Sponsored by the ASA Working Group on Harassment)

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Description

While many organizations have institutionalized policies, training programs, and grievance procedures over the past decades, harassment has not been eliminated. Given the widespread interest in how to stop sexual harassment in professional associations and universities, this panel discusses what we know from research on how organizations can stop harassment from occurring. Sociologists will discuss what we can learn from this research about what steps professional associations such as ASA and universities can do to promote a professional, learning and working environment free of harassment.
