Angela Exson
Angela Exson, a national leader in interpersonal violence prevention, will speak on Tuesday, April 20, at 6 p.m.
Her talk, "Crossing the Divide: Addressing Systemic Barriers to Sexual Violence Prevention," will focus on factors that contribute to sexual violence. How is the prevalence of sexual violence related to power, privilege and oppression? What are the long-term effects? Are there special considerations for BIPOC and low-income students? How can we engage students to use campus and community resources?

She advises academic and professional institutions on strategies to effectively address gender-based misconduct and violence.
