This event is part of the Graduate Student Council Events.

The Graduate Student Council will be hosting an Interrupt workshop run by SARP. Interrupt teaches graduate students how to identify and interrupt sexual misconduct. If you are concerned about attending due to the sensitive nature of this topic, you may contact SARP with any questions or concerns at prevent@bu.edu.

The description of Interrupt provided by SARP is copied below:

Graduate students, especially doctoral candidates, face a unique set of challenges when confronted with sexual misconduct. Power differentials, dual roles, gender-based harassment, and the interpersonal dynamics that often exist in a department or cohort can contribute to difficult situations.

Interrupt is an interactive training designed to help graduate students identify opportunities, and build the skills, to interrupt sexual misconduct. In this 75-minute training, participants will

  • Develop a shared understanding of sexual misconduct
  • Think through a step-by-step framework to help identify interruption opportunities
  • Apply interruption strategies to realistic scenarios where sexual misconduct is directed either at yourself or others
  • Identify sexual misconduct response and prevention resources
