Online Panel 1: 'Silencing Sexual Misconduct in Academia: Naming perpetrators, speaking out'

5 March, 12-2 PM GMT

In the wake of movements like #MeToo, #RuReferenceList, and #NiUnaMenos, students and staff worldwide courageously shared stories of sexual- and gender-based violence (SGBV) in academia. But despite empowering calls to ‘speak out’, survivors often faced severe backlash. Recent cases in the academic community highlight survivors’ challenges in disclosing, even when their accounts are anonymous, and reflect the increasingly prevalent problem of libel law being used to silence SGBV survivors. However, Higher Education (HE) policies and practices rarely consider these factors. This panel will explore from various perspectives the idea of naming perpetrators of SGBV in HE.

Speakers: Kiki Mordi, Joel Quirk, Judith Levine.

Online Panel 2: 'Silencing Sexual Misconduct in Academia: Challenges in academic publishing'

11 March, 12-2pm GMT

In August 2023 the edited book Sexual Misconduct in Academia: Informing an Ethics of Care in the University was withdrawn from publication by Routledge - Taylor and Francis Group, with the publisher stating they had received ‘a series of legal threats from various parties’ in relation to one chapter. Thousands of academics internationally called for its re-publication, yet the entire volume remains un-published with no apparent route forward.

In this webinar, we will discuss the implications of this development for academic writing on sexual misconduct, asking questions such as, 'If sexual harassment is part of the conditions of production of academic knowledge, how can we create conditions in which it is possible for survivors and scholars to write about it safely?' and 'What should academics expect from publishers when writing in this area?'

Speakers: Donya Ahmadi, Alex Petit-Thorne, Tom Dark, Dirk Voorhoof.

Dear all

In autumn last year, you signed our open letter<https://www.buala.org/en/mukanda/open-letter-to-routledge-taylor-francis-group> ‘Not In Our Academia’, protesting against the withdrawal by Routledge-Taylor and Francis of the book Sexual Misconduct in Academia. We are grateful for your support, as we received over 1500 signatures from across the world, and our campaign was featured in higher education news media. Despite our efforts, unfortunately the book is still withdrawn and remains unpublished.

You indicated that you would like to be kept up to date with future developments, so we are getting in touch about our next steps on this issue.

To shed light on the situation and to keep the momentum up on this issue, at The 1752 Group<http://www.1752group.com/> (a UK-based campaign and research organisation for addressing sexual misconduct in academia) are supporting the editors of the book and the authors of chapter 12 by organising a webinar to discuss the issues raised, the second of a two-part series called ‘Silencing Sexual Misconduct in Academia’, as part of an event called North-South Feminist Dialogue.

Full details are below and a link to sign up to either or both webinars (to be held online 12-2pm UK time on 5th and 11th March).

Please share widely with your networks.

Best wishes

Anna Bull (co-director, The 1752 Group)
