On this episode of AGSC, Tamsyn and Paniz are joined by...each other, to talk about the reason they first met years ago: campus sexual assault, and the profound uselessness of the university administrators getting paid to address it. Having spent many years organizing, researching, and writing about the issue since then, they have seen how universities spend all their time and money on programs like consent education and sweeping policy change, without seeing any actual reduction in the number of students being assaulted on their campuses. Paniz and Tamsyn talk about why these neoliberal approaches don’t meet survivors’ actual (namely, material) needs or take into account the role of power in sexual violence - and what we can do instead.Resources for survivors: Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/ Multicultural Women Against Rape (counselling, court support, advocacy, and other programs for survivors of all genders) TRCC/MWAR 24/7 Crisis Line: 416-597-8808Gerstein Crisis Centre: 416-929-5200Assaulted Women's Helpline: 416-863-0511For more information about Tamsyn’s human rights case and sexual assault at U of T:Tamsyn Riddle, “Why I Filed my Human Rights Complaint Against U of T.” The Varsity, 2017.Hilary Beaumont, “Rape victims say Canadian universities are failing them.” Vice, 2016.
