Students are able to use the materials on display in the Archives to put together their final essays.

Students in Steven Maynard카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션History of Sexuality in Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션 (HIST 210) class are taking an in-depth look at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s history of tackling sexual violence on campus.

At Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, principals, deans, rectors, faculty, staff and students have all grappled with the topic of sexual assault for close to four decades and, in many cases, implemented preventative measures and responsive initiatives, which are highlighted in a display in the foyer of Kathleen Ryan Hall.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I try to structure each year of my HIST 210 class to speak to different present-day concerns,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Maynard. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Sexual assault has been a big topic on Canadian university campuses this year and so it made sense to focus on its history.카지노 게임 컬렉션

With the help of university archivist Heather Home, Professor Maynard compiled materials for a timeline of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s efforts to tackle sexual assault on campus so his HIST 210 students could conduct research for their final essays. The display includes 1970s Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Journal articles, photographs of the 1989 카지노 게임 컬렉션No Means No카지노 게임 컬렉션 protests, and ends with the recent interim Sexual Assault Support and Response Protocol.

Students Kaitlyn Puffalt and Kirsten Andersen used the display for their final essays.

카지노 게임 컬렉션This was my first time using primary documents and I found being able to see the processes behind campus initiatives very interesting,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Puffalt, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션17. 카지노 게임 컬렉션For example, Walkhome and the blue lights on campus were a result of a safety audit conducted in the 1980s.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The final essays involve analysis of the archival documents and then cross-referencing those primary sources to other media reports so that each student is able to think about what it means when initiatives are forgotten or the institutional memory is lost.

카지노 게임 컬렉션By studying the display I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been able to understand what techniques worked for the university, and what didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Andersen, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션15. 카지노 게임 컬렉션As history students, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important for us to be able to look back and learn from the past in order to make decisions about the present and future.카지노 게임 컬렉션

While the display was primarily for HIST 210 students to examine for class, it will remain posted well into the summer. Professor Maynard hopes that members of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Kingston community will go and take a look for themselves.

This topic is one that continues to be addressed on campus today. This academic year, the has finalized an interim sexual assault protocol that will be used while the permanent policy is developed. A subcommittee of SAPRWG is currently working on a draft policy and progress report with recommendations for the final policy and procedures to be presented at the end of April.

Most recently, SAPRWG embarked upon a campus climate study that will examine student perceptions and incidences of certain types of sexual and physical experiences in relationships on campus. The results of this study will provide important information on the campus climate and help the university enhance its sexual assault prevention and response efforts.
