🌟 Empowering Your Safety: Understanding Power, Consent, and Professional Boundaries 🌟
Have you ever felt uneasy in your academic setting, sensing that something was amiss without being able to articulate it?
An interaction, a comment, or a situation that crossed a line... or perhaps it was just shy of doing so? If so, this event is tailored for you!
📅 Date: 12 February 2026
🕔 Time: 17:30 - 19:00
📍 Location: Faculty of Arts, Jan Palach Square 1, Prague, room 131 (auditorium on the first mezzanine floor)
Join us for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Anna Bull from the University of York and The 1752 Group, where we will delve into power dynamics, consent, and professional boundaries in academia.
During this session, we will tackle complex situations that may make it hard to assert your boundaries, explore where grey areas occur, and identify moments when someone may be testing limits. 🔍
What to expect:
- ✨ A brief introduction from Dr. Anna Bull
- 💬 An open forum for your questions and shared reflections
- 🤝 A supportive environment with no obligation to speak or reveal personal experiences
- 👂 The option to engage actively or simply listen
Our aim is for you to leave feeling empowered, informed, and reassured that you are not alone in your experiences.
✨ This event will be conducted in English and requires no prior registration. Feel free to join us at the Faculty of Arts.
For your comfort, a quiet room will be available to ensure your safety and well-being during the discussion. If you have any safety concerns or wish to know more about who will be attending, please reach out to our designated safety coordinator at gpn@soc.cas.cz.
