NAVIGATING THE HOOKUP: 7 CONSENT PITFALLS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM
Description
Consent is often presented as a simple, straightforward “yes or no” interaction. However, giving and obtaining consent can sometimes be hard. In fact, research suggests that as many as 75% of sexual assaults reported in college occurred in the “hook-up context,” meaning the interaction presumably started out consensually.
In this interactive workshop, we will have a realistic and nuanced conversation about consent. We’ll explore research-based reasons why consent can be complicated. We’ll also address common consent pitfalls in the hook-up context, and practical tips for avoiding them.
