Going Public *Special Episode*

Jumping Off the Ivory Tower with Prof JulieMac

JOIT is still on hiatus (look for season 6 to begin in early 2021!), but we’re releasing this special episode to explore Julie’s incredible new book, Going Public: A Survivor’s Journey from Grief to Action, which documents her experiences of sexual violence as a young woman, and her search for justice in the legal system. In the episode, Julie reads some powerful excerpts, and then Julie, Dayna, and Moya McAlister (the third member our NSRLP leadership team – you’ll remember her from our final episode of season 5, “Living Black Lives”) discuss some of the themes and thoughts behind Julie’s writing. We strongly encourage everyone to read Going Public, and to give some thought to the ways our society and legal systems handle sexual violence. Julie’s book is available for purchase through her Canadian publisher, Between the Lines, if you reside in either Canada or the US: https://btlbooks.com/book/going-public For more purchasing info, and a special offer for book clubs, see our website: https://representingyourselfcanada.com/going-public-special-episode/ Jumping Off the Ivory Tower is produced and hosted by Julie Macfarlane and Dayna Cornwall; production and editing by Brauntë Petric; promotion by Moya McAlister and the NSRLP team.
