DESCRIPTION:On Zoom.\n\nAbstract\n\n(En anglais seulement) Campus sexual vi
 olence has become the province of increased rulemaking\, governance\, and 
 bureaucratic activity in the last ten years. Feminist law and policymakers
  have campaigned for targeted reforms in this area\, including the widespr
 ead adoption of campus sexual violence policies at colleges and universiti
 es in Canada and the United States. In this talk\, I provide a critical fe
 minist perspective on the progress of campus sexual violence reform in Can
 ada. I will argue that campus sexual violence policies have evolved to ref
 lect what I call the ideology of legal centralism\, 'taking sexual abuse s
 eriously' by privileging the formal law and campus adjudication over other
  systems of justice. Crucially\, the ideology of legal centralism has enta
 iled a corresponding skepticism\, if not categorical rejection of consensu
 al dispute resolution (i.e.\, mediation and restorative justice) for chall
 enging this methodology. I will argue that this is a mistake. One of my pu
 rposes in the talk is to recalibrate feminism’s relationship with informal
  law and to explore the possibilities of consensual dispute resolution as 
 a site of radical\, structural change on campus.\n\nBiography\n\ndaniel.de
 lgobbo [at] mcgill.ca (Daniel Del Gobbo) is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow 
 at the McGill University Faculty of Law. His research and teaching fall at
  the intersection of civil procedure\, access to justice\, human rights\, 
 and critical theory\, with a focus on issues of gender and sexuality. Publ
 ishing widely in these areas\, Daniel has a book forthcoming with the Univ
 ersity of Toronto Press\, Negotiating Feminism: Charting a Path through La
 w\, Sex\, and Violence\, which traces the reflection of the feminist 'sex 
 wars' from the late 1970s to the early 1990s in contemporary debates about
  the role of law in addressing the problem of campus sexual violence. Prev
 iously\, Daniel earned his S.J.D. from the University of Toronto Faculty o
 f Law in 2021\, where he was a Trudeau Scholar\, SSHRC Doctoral Fellow\, a
 nd CBA Viscount Bennett Fellow. He earned his LL.M. from Harvard Law Schoo
