Winter PD Event: Addressing Gender-Based Violence in Classes
When: Friday, January 27 6:00 - 7:00 pm
Where: Online/Zoom
Language classes can be very effective places to introduce and share information about the topic of gender-based violence because they provide many newcomers with their first chance to interact with Canadian culture and norms. They are much more socially acceptable in many communities to attend than programs or events specifically focused on violence. Dr. Berivan Kutlay Sarikaya will focus on using and providing resources on GBV in your syllabus that can create a welcoming and supportive environment for students who have experienced gender-based violence and sexual abuse.
Dr. Berivan Kutlay Sarikaya is a Project Coordinator for the Initiative to End Gender-Based Violence at the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI). She earned her doctoral degree from the Adult Education and Community Development Program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) of the University of Toronto. She has diverse professional and scholarly work in the human rights field related to survivors of state violence and refugee women who are gender-based violence survivors in Turkey, Europe and Canada.
This event is FREE and is open to all TESL Ontario members.
