The Linguistics Colloquium series presents Dr. Molly Bukky discussing “University policies prohibiting discrimination in the context of Title IX” on Friday, Sept. 10, from 12:55 to 1:50 pm via Microsoft TEAMS.

Contact Dr. David Bell, linguistics chair, belld@ohio.edu, for questions about watching.

Bukky is the training coordinator and civil rights investigator for Ohio University Equity and Civil Rights Compliance.

Abstract: One in six women and one in 33 men will be the victim of sexual assault in their lifetime (RAINN.org). The colloquium will discuss such questions as how to clarify consent with sexual partners, when, if, and how to report sexual misconduct that has been reported, what is and is not considered workplace harassment, and what constitutes stalking.

About Linguistics’ 50th Anniversary Celebration

“We are really looking forward to everyone joining us this year, either live in person or via Microsoft TEAMS to celebrate our anniversary,” said Bell, who also invited alumni and friends to add their names to the donor wall by making a gift, of whatever amount, to the Linguistics Department’s crowdfunding campaign.

He noted that all funds go to support our students’ registration and travel expenses to conferences where they will present their research.

“And please stay in touch! Send us a message on our Linguistics FB page at https://www.facebook.com/LingDeptOHIO,” he added.
