The #MeToo movement has opened up new conversations about sexual harassment and misconduct in many parts of the world. Yet reporting remains difficult for many women (and men) and change can be slow to take effect. Still, from media to McDonalds and from private homes to public universities, women are increasingly speaking about their experiences and public and private institutions are responding. As a University leader and legal advocate, Suzanne Goldberg will reflect on the challenges of reporting sexual misconduct and strategies for changing law, policy, and social discourse.

Suzanne Goldberg is Executive Vice President for University Life and Herbert and Doris Wechsler Clinical Professor of Law at Columbia University.
