Discussion at Purchase College Oct. 7 on Ending Sexual Violence on College Campuses

The following announcement is from Purchase College and first appeared on the school’s website:

John Howard, PhD, JD
Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Purchase College, SUNY

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2014 / 7 PM
Natural Science Building Lecture Hall

Professor Howard discusses the ways in which sexual assault on college campuses is a problem that is widespread, complex, and long-standing. The first Title IX law suit on this issue was filed more than two decades ago, yet not much has changed.

The objective of the lecture and panel discussion is to advocate for policies and approaches that have been successful in combating the problem rather than simply talking about it and lamenting its existence.

Professor Howard’s talk will be followed by a panel discussion and Q and A.

The Fall 2014 School of Natural and Social Sciences Lecture Series is sponsored in part by the Friends of Natural and Social Sciences.


Free and open to the public.
