Episode Synopsis


In this episode, host Sarah Banet-Weiser talks with McGill researchers Carrie Rentschler and Emily Colpitts about how attitudes against gender-based violence (GBV) are changing. They examine how colleges respond to sexual violence on campus, and how student activism plays into university policy. They also discuss the intersection of social media in preventing GBV — and whether such technology can truly disrupt systems of sexual violence.  Click here for the episode transcript FeaturingSarah Banet-WeiserCarrie RentschlerEmily Colpitts Sponsor:Annenberg Center for Collaborative CommunicationMore from the host & speakers: Sarah Banet-WeiserDistinguished Professor; Professor | Annenberg School for Communication; Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Pennsylvania; University of Southern CaliforniaTwitter - @sbanetweiser Carrie RentschlerAssociate Professor | Department of Art History & Communication StudiesMcGill University Twitter - @RentschlerCEmily ColpittsSSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow | Department of Art History & Communication StudiesMcGill University Twitter - @emcolpittsWorks referenced in episode: Mitchell, C., & Rentschler, C.
