Intersectional Sexualized Violence Project
Power Dynamics and Boundaries: A Sexualized Violence Prevention Workshop for Graduate Students was developed as part of the BCcampus Intersectional Sexualized Violence Project and funded by Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) in partnership with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. BCcampus worked closely with many staff, faculty, administrators, students, and subject matter experts across the B.C. post-secondary system to develop open education resources addressing intersectional sexualized violence at post-secondary institutions.
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Technology Facilitated Sexualized Violence: An Introductory Training for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions | A 45–60-minute, self-paced online course exploring technology-facilitated sexualized violence (TFSV) and its impacts, how to address it as a bystander, and how to support survivors of TFSV. |
| Power Dynamics and Boundaries: A Sexualized Violence Prevention Workshop for Graduate Students | A facilitator guide and PowerPoint slides to help B.C. post-secondary institutions offer training on power dynamics and sexualized violence in the graduate student context. |
| The Medicine of the Berry Patch: A Guide for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions to Support Indigenous Students | A call to action and self-paced online resource with videos, readings, and reflection questions for B.C. post-secondary institutions wanting to build support for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students and survivors of sexualized violence. |
| Communication, Healthy Relationships, and Consent: A Resource for B.C. Post-Secondary Institutions | An interactive, self-paced online resource, developed in H5P, providing foundational training in healthy communication and relationships, setting boundaries, and establishing consent. |
BCcampus has developed five other resources on sexualized violence:
- Consent and Sexual Violence: Training and Facilitation Guide explores different understandings of consent, how to ask for and give consent, and how to create a “culture of consent” in campus communities.
- Supporting Survivors: Training and Facilitation Guide explores how to respond supportively and effectively to disclosures of sexual violence. The guide uses a Listen, Believe, Support model.
- Accountability and Repairing Relationships: Training and Facilitation Guide focuses on individuals who have been informed that they have caused harm in the context of sexual violence. The training includes reflection activities to help people be accountable and build better relationships.
- Active Bystander Intervention: Training and Facilitation Guide helps learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and intervene in an incident of sexual violence as well as discuss strategies for creating a safer campus community.
- Safer Campuses for Everyone is a 75-minute online, self-paced, non-facilitated training on sexualized violence that can be adapted and shared through different learning management systems.
