2019 Keynote Speakers

Dr. Rebecca Campbell

Dr. Rebecca Campbell is a Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University. Dr. Campbell’s research examines how contact with the legal and medical systems affects sexual assault survivor’s well-being. Most recently, she was the lead researcher for the National Institute of Justice-funded Detroit Sexual Assault Kit Action Research Project, which was a four-year multidisciplinary study of Detroit’s untested rape kits.  Dr. Campbell also conducts training for law enforcement and multidisciplinary practitioners in civilian, military, and campus community settings on the neurobiology of trauma.

Presentation Title: Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood?  Building A Trauma-Informed Response to Campus Sexual Assault Through Community Partnerships

In this presentation, Dr. Campbell will present data from a new national-scale project on the challenges of responding to campus sexual assaults. This session will begin by examining the multiple competing interests and the conflicts inherent in building a campus response to sexual assault. With that context, we will then examine new data on unintended negative consequences of compelled disclosure policies (often referred to as mandatory reporting policies). We explore how these conflicts and challenges may be mitigated through successful campus-community partnerships.

Presentation Title: The Image of Transition: Enacting Strategies to End Campus Sexual Violence

Film Screening & Discussion

Roll Red Roll is a true-crime thriller and impact campaign that goes behind the headlines of the notorious Steubenville, Ohio rape case to uncover the deep-seated and social media-fueled “boys will be boys” culture at the root of high school sexual assault in America. The film unflinchingly asks, why didn’t anyone stop it? The impact campaign engages communities around the nation to answer this question for themselves, creating opportunities, tools and pathways for men and boys to challenge ingrained thinking about masculinity and explore their leadership potential in the fight against gender-based violence.
