Welcoming Chris Linder, one of OUTA’s keynote speakers

Dr. Chris Linder will be delivering a keynote presentation at Ontario Universities Taking Action Against Sexual Violence Conference.

Dr. Chris Linder is an Assistant Professor of College Student Affairs Administration and an affiliate faculty member of the Institute for Women’s Studies at the University of Georgia. Prior to becoming faculty, Chris served as the director of a campus-based women’s centre for seven years, where a significant portion of her career was dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual violence. Chris’ research centres on creating and maintaining equitable campus environments, with a specific focus on race and gender. Currently, Chris is engaged in a project with a colleague, Dr. Jessica C. Harris, examining the history and context of sexual violence on college campuses. Specifically, Drs. Linder and Harris are editing a book, Critical Perspectives on Sexual Violence on Campuses, which centres experiences of minoritized groups in the US, including women of Colour, LGB and trans students, and students with disabilities to improve campus-based practices.
