Preventing sexual harassment in the workplace: Workshop for graduate students
Mar 9, 2021
9:30AM to 11:30AM
Event Categories Community, Personal, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Wellness
Founded by Chancellor Emeritus L.R. Wilson and hosted at McMaster, the Wilson Leadership Scholar Award aims to give students transformative experiences while also helping to develop the next generation of leaders in Canada.
Understanding policies and responding effectively to sexual harassment in the workplace is important, but how do we get ahead of that? Participants in this workshop will explore their own role in creating a culture in their office, lab or classroom that stops harassment before it takes place.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- distinguish between harassment, discrimination and inappropriate behaviour
- understand the role of power dynamics in sexual harassment
- recognize impacts of sexual harassment
- contribute to creating a healthier workplace environment
This workshop is facilitated by Wil Prakash Fujarczuk (He/Him), coordinator, sexual violence prevention education, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office.
