New book explores Sexual Justice

Probably the most important book in 2021 related to Title IX looks at how we get to sexual justice both for survivors of sexual assault and for the people accused of assaulting them. This Tuesday, August 24, at 7:30 p.m. ET you can hear author Alexandra Brodsky at a virtual book launch discussing Sexual Justice: Supporting Victims, Ensuring Due Process, and Resisting the Conservative Backlash.

The New Yorker magazine published an adapted excerpt from the book: “Meeting ‘the other side’: Conversations with men accused of sexual assault.” Check it out.

Brodsky co-founded the national student activist organization Know Your IX eight years ago after she and others filed a Title IX complaint against Yale University. Later she earned a law degree from Yale and worked as a civil rights attorney at the National Women’s Law Center and at Public Justice.

She writes both from her vantage point in the thick of the past decade’s influential student uprisings against sexual assault and from a wide-angle view afforded by her legal expertise and research.

I’m very much looking forward to reading this book. Please join me. I think it will lead to some very interesting conversations.
