Event Description:
Anurima Bhargava
Harvard University
Race and Sexual Assault: The Intersections of Violence
Anurima Bhargava served as the Chief of the Educational Opportunities Section of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice. She led the Division’s efforts to provide equal educational opportunities for all students by enforcing federal statutes that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, sex, language status, religion and disability in schools and institutions of higher education. Through litigation, guidance and policy, the Division addresses a broad range of issues, including school segregation; school discipline and the school to prison pipeline; harassment and bullying; sexual assault; and protecting educational access and services for English Learner, LGBT and undocumented students.
Her talk will explore the parallels between racial violence and sexual assault, and the obstacles that persist in how communities prevent and address violence, trauma, and hold systems accountable.
