“The whole advising process can be so intimidating…It can be really easy to that forget you have power in the relationship as well, and that you should have power in the relationship if it’s a healthy advising relationship.”
– Tara Streng Schroeter
In this episode we speak with Tara Streng Schroeter on graduate school advising, sexual victimization, and Title IX.
Tara is a 4th year Doctoral Student in the Department of Sociology at University of Colorado Boulder. Her current research focuses on rape and sexual assault, particularly on campus sexual assault policies and federal guidance which informs those policies. Tara has published in Sexual Research and Social Policy and Journal of Education and Practice.
“We need to consider what are ways we can try to mitigate…concerns of survivors. What are ways that we can ask about perhaps the worst thing that has ever happened to this individual in a way that’s not going to retraumatize them or make them concerned to share this experience.”
