This interactive workshop introduces participants to the national landscape of sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct; familiarizes participants with University policies and procedures pertaining to sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct; reviews campus resources; and offers interactive case scenarios that engage all audience members in responding to disclosures of harassment by peers and colleagues.

Harassment Prevention & Response 2.0

This workshop builds on “Responding to Sexual Harassment & Other Sexual Misconduct” and focuses on unpacking case-scenarios, role-playing scenarios around disclosure and understanding formal and informal complaint processes. Participants will strengthen skills necessary to effectively respond to disclosures and begin to build skills for prevention. 

Gender Diversity & LGBTQ Inclusion: From "A" to "Ze"

This interactive workshop introduces audiences to terminology, best practices and practical tools for LGBTQ inclusion in the workplace. Participants will be invited to share from their own experiences, become familiar with terms and pronouns, and integrate recommendations for supporting colleagues, students and stakeholders across the Harvard community.

Gender Diversity & LGBTQ Inclusion: Part II

Building upon Gender Diversity & LGBTQ Inclusion: From “A” to “Ze” (Part I), Part II emphasizes a shared understanding of the relationship between community climate and gender diversity and inclusion. Participants will be invited to share from their own experiences, engage in scenario-based discussions focused on psychological safety, and integrate recommendations from the most current academic literature to support colleagues, students, and stakeholders across the Harvard community.

Intersections of Identity and Title IX

While Title IX is a law designed to promote gender equity in educational institutions, conversations pertaining to gender equity often intersect with identity categories that may be affected by harassment and discrimination. This interactive workshop invites participants to consider how intersections of gender and other identities (such as race, class, immigration status, dis/ability, sexual orientation) may impact experiences of harm and help-seeking.

Universal Manager Training

The Office for Gender Equity regularly participates in Universal Management Training (UMT) in partnership with the Harvard Center for Workforce Development. Interactive panels enable participants to consider and respond to case scenarios and questions pertaining to sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct. Participants learn how to detect signs of harassment, find their Title IX Resource Coordinators, and contact the appropriate personnel as responsible employees.

Bystander Intervention & Beyond

Recent outreach efforts and community input have clearly signaled that staff, students, and faculty are eager to adopt practical tools to enable them to detect and respond to signs of harassment in their own learning and work environments. The Bystander Intervention & Beyond program invites participants to reflect on their own experiences as bystanders, discover opportunities to improve community climate, and develop personalized strategies to prevent sexual harassment and other sexual misconduct in the spaces where they live, learn, and work.
