Abstract: »Teaching the history of sexual violence is imperative on our campuses, especially as sexual violence continues to be a public health crisis for our students. Since activist and community scholar Tarana Burke coined the term #MeToo in 2006, increased attention to individual acts of violence and the societal patterns that enable them have prompted significant interest in this topic among students and the public. Participants in this roundtable will address key themes in the historical scholarship of sexual violence, strategies for including this content in classrooms, and suggestions for collaborative learning around the study of sexual violence.« (Source: Online Program)
