Activating Our Campus 2017 Breakout Sessions View Other Sessions

This breakout session will provide people who facilitate workshops on their campuses with tools on how to navigate difficult and problematic conversations and questions that come up in sexual assault and social justice workshops. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss scenarios and practice and how to respond in order to still have a constructive conversation that stays on topic and guides the conversation back to the original point. This breakout session will discuss what this looks like for people of varying identities, how sexual assault affects them differently, and how allies can utilize this tool to lessen the emotional labor that people from more marginalized identities face, and make their services more inclusive and welcoming to people of diverse identities and backgrounds.
