Room for Discussion | Chanel Miller: Know My Name @RoomforDiscussionUva | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 13 minutes ago.
We are honoured to announce that we will be hosting Chanel Miller at Room for Discussion.
In 2015, Miller was sexually assaulted while attending Stanford University. The court case against the perpetrator Brock Turner - People v. Turner - received a significant amount of backlash due to its extremely lenient sentencing. Chanel’s story rose to public prominence after her victim impact statement went viral on the website Buzzfeed. In this statement, as well as media and court documents, her name was replaced by the pseudonym "Emily Doe". This promptly changed after her book 'Know My Name: A Memoir' was published in 2019. This brought up questions on how one should define victimhood and reclaim power when it comes to sexual assault. It also raises questions about the current campus culture and the #MeToo movement.
We will talk about these questions and more on the 26th of February!
Hope to see you there!
