In our series of events to mark the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence, we plan to move forward from talking about Gender Based Violence to supporting practical steps which individuals and organisations can make to challenge and take action against it. In this interactive workshop, Dr Rebecca Smith and Dr Alexandra Fanghanel will take a critical lens to explore rape myths and will encourage participants to do so too. This is a great opportunity to better understand what rape myths are, how they work, and what to do about rape myths and contemporary rape culture. We will be thinking about rape culture on campus, but also exploring ideas beyond the university setting, including the possibilities offered by, and challenges of, bystander interventions. We are hosting this as a Hyflex session, with some spaces available on Greenwich campus and access for online participants.
