Wayne Law Review Symposium to examine anti-sexual violence legal movements Sept. 26
On Friday, September 26, Wayne State University Law School will host the annual Wayne Law Review Symposium, “Assessing the Last Decade(s) of Anti-Sexual Violence Legal Movements.” The full-day event will bring together leading scholars, practitioners, and advocates from across the country for a series of dynamic panels exploring the evolving legal and policy responses to sexual harassment and gender-based violence.
“This symposium brings together leading voices from across the country to take on some of the hardest questions about sexual violence and the law,” said Saher Zaidi, symposium editor, Wayne Law Review. “Having this range of expertise in one room is rare, and we hope the conversations spark collaborations and momentum that will not only inform but also inspire lasting change.”
The symposium will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights (Room 2242). Breakfast and lunch will be provided for registered attendees.
