Session Type: Caucus
Description: The pandemic has changed the nature of work for the foreseeable future, how might the shift toward virtual work, the stress of work-life demands, the vulnerability of essential workers, and the reliance on virtual training solutions affect social sexual behavior, sexual harassment, bystander intervention, and training effectiveness? Dr. Shannon Rawski will facilitate this caucus by posing discussion questions to the group and dividing participants into virtual breakout rooms. The session will end with a large group discussion and potential research agenda.
