Through discussion, the panellists will examine the work that is underway to reform academic institutions, with a focus on reporting mechanisms, cultural change, and the importance of creating the right conditions to report. The event will be expressly
concerned with intersectional identities.
It connects with a HEFCE-funded project that LSE has underway, in response to the Universities UK Taskforce’s recommendations on tackling violence against women, harassment and hate crime affecting university students.
Jennifer Cirone manages community based services for Solace Women’s Aid in Camden for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.

LSE’s Department of Gender Studies (@LSEGenderTweet) is the largest gender studies centre in Europe. With a global perspective, LSE Gender’s research and teaching intersects with other categories of analysis such as race, ethnicity, class and sexuality;
because gender relations work in all spheres of life, interdisciplinarity is key to LSE Gender’s approach.
