Sciences Po - 1 pl. Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin

In recent years, we have been witnessing a growing concern regarding gender-based and sexual violence on university campuses, particularly in the wake of the MeToo movement. This heightened focus has prompted various efforts to prevent and address campus-based violence. Faculty members have notably stepped up within their universities to drive transformative actions. This seminar provides an opportunity to discuss several such research-based initiatives, which are currently taking place in both the United States and France.

With: 

  • Monica J. Casper, Professor of Sociology at San Diego State University, Special Assistant to the President on Gender-Based Violence, Chair of the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Gender-Based Violence
  • Hélène Périvier, Economist at the French Economic Observatory, Director of Sciences Po's Gender Studies Programme (PRESAGE), PI for the SAFEDUC research project
  • Chloé Mour, Equality, LGBT+ Rights and Gender-based Violence Officer at the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research

Chair: Florence Faucher, Director of the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, Sciences Po.

A seminar session co-organised by Sciences Po's Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE), Centre for the Sociology of Organisations (CSO), Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies (LIEPP), and Gender Studies Programme.
