RSVP for Consent Culture
press release: We are very pleased and excited to announce the opening for registration of the first annual 2018 Consent Culture Conference on August 9 and 10! Hosted by GSAFE which is dedicated to creating justice in schools for LGBTQ youth, and Edgewood College, the Consent Culture Conference strives to generate and engage conversation among leading healthcare advocates. Historically, Wisconsin has had a national reputation for pioneering efforts to improve the public’s health. GSAFE and Edgewood College are excited to collaborate with statewide partners to deepen this work through the first annual 2018 Consent Culture Conference. We aim to advance shared action on conditions that advance health equity, harassment free work places, and community well-being.
OPEN TO ALL educators and professionals who want to understand consent as the basis for human interactions. Workshops and keynote speakers will include dialogue and discussions regarding informed consent, consent in the workplace, disclosures, power dynamics, choice, healthy relationships, medically accurate and inclusive sex-education, bodily autonomy, the politics of consent and consent in early childhood. Attendees will have opportunities to contemplate the implications of consent as it relates to professional relationships with co-workers, supervisors, supervisees and constituents. Participants will also be challenged and encouraged to reflect on consent as a means to achieve social justice.
