Speaker: Brenda Cossman

We are very happy to announce that Brenda Cossman, Director of the Mark S. Bonham Centre For Sexual Diversity Studies and Professor of Law at the University of Toronto will be giving a talk entitled “#MeToo, Sex Wars 2.0 and the Regulation of Sexual Harm”. This talk explores feminist debates within #MeToo. While framed as a generational one, with media reports focusing on the conflict between millennials and second wave feminists, Brenda argues that age or generation alone cannot account for the fundamental disagreements around sexuality, agency, consent and law that are swirling around the #MeToo movement. Rather, she argues that these feminist #MeToo debates are better understood through the lens of Sex Wars 2.0 – the continuation of the feminist sex wars of the 1970s and 1980s.
