Consent is a hot topic, but how can discussions with young people move beyond awkwardness and buzzwords to make it relevant?

A session Sunday, September 3, in the residence quad will consider how to create a campus culture of respect, safety — and fun.

Speaker Karen B.K. Chan is dedicated to sex education that is plainly spoken, emotionally honest, and grounded in justice. In her presentation “Consent for Real People,” she will:

• identify the real barriers to sexual consent;
• address why it’s hard to say and hear “no” as well as “yes;” and
• develop new sexual scripts that people will use.

The event, which will begin at 6 p.m., comes at the close of Residence Move-in Day, and at the beginning of UWindsor Welcome Week orientation activities for new and returning students. For your guide to welcome week, download the app, available for iOS, Android or web devices.
