Join the UIC Women's Leadership and Resource Center and Campus Advocacy Network for a virtual keynote lecture commemorating their 30th anniversary!

Dr. Jennifer Freyd will discuss how institutions cause harm to the people that depend on them and ways that they can instead support survivors and promote change, accountability, and equity.

To learn more about Dr. Freyd’s work, we recommend “When Sexual Assault Victims Speak Out, Their Institutions Often Betray Them” (The Conversation, 2018), which outlines what institutional betrayal is, how it affects survivors, and 10 guiding principles for institutions that want to practice institutional courage and support survivors.

CART live captioning will be provided. Please send questions or additional accommodation requests to wlrc@uic.edu.

Co-sponsored by UIC Honors College, Gender and Women's Studies, Psychology, College of Business, Counseling Center, Graduate College, and College of Dentistry.
