Sexual Harassment in Education Virtual Conference

The Sexual Harassment in Education Virtual Conference is an annual event organized by the Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-Discrimination Law at UC Berkeley School of Law. This conference brings together lawyers, scholars, activists, and Title IX officers to examine the legal and policy issues surrounding harassment in educational settings, both in the United States and globally. The event features plenary sessions, workshops, and keynote addresses, providing opportunities for attendees to network and collaborate on strategies to address sexual harassment in education.

Key topics covered at the conference include developments in Title IX law and policy, harassment prevention education, and the creation of toolkits to combat sexual harassment in educational institutions. The conference also explores global responses to harassment, with speakers from various countries sharing their experiences and insights. For instance, past conferences have featured speakers from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, India, Kenya, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

The conference is designed for attorneys, Title IX officers, activists, and others working on issues related to sexual harassment in educational settings. Attendees can earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits, with past conferences offering up to 12 hours of California MCLE credit, including 1 hour of elimination of bias credit. Registration fees vary, with discounts available for Berkeley graduates, members of partner bar associations, employees of government or non-profit organizations, and individuals who are unemployed.

This conference is ideal for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of sexual harassment in education, stay updated on legal developments, and collaborate with peers to develop effective strategies for prevention and response.
