Webinar | Sports universitaires et violences à caractère sexuel
This webinar aims to take stock of the violence experienced by university athletes in Atlantic Canada and discuss the methodological and structural challenges associated with research on sexual violence in this regional context.
Several studies have documented sexual violence in sports, particularly that committed by coaches or as part of hazing rituals between athletes. While this violence has been widely studied in professional and elite sports, it also occurs in college sports. However, the literature focuses more on sexual violence perpetrated by athletes than on that suffered by them. This gap is even more pronounced in the university context of the Atlantic provinces.
Speaker: Kim Dubé (she/her), assistant professor of criminology at the University of Moncton.

As many as 1 in 5 post-secondary students has engaged in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), and students who engage in NSSI are at increased risk for poor academic and mental health outcomes.This webinar will focus on increasing knowledge and understanding of NSSI, and navigating ways to talk with students who may be self-injuring. In addition, evidence-informed resources will be shared to help understand how to best support students who self-injure in post-secondary education settings.
