Building a Supportive Community Through Open Dialogue

MMA’s Culture of Respect Collective (CoR) is working to foster healthy spaces and relationships for students, staff, and faculty by hosting events and bringing professional guest speakers to facilitate open conversations about difficult topics.

During the first event on February 1, 2024, influential authors Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Khan presented ‘You Belong Here! Cultivating Healthy Communities on Campus and Beyond’ and conducted a campus-wide discussion about their book, ‘Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus.’ This fireside chat was moderated by Captain Gordon MacArthur ’00, Master of the TSSOM, and Jennifer Haddock, Professor of Marine Transportation. Important topics such as sexual citizenship, healthy relationships, and the prevention of sexual assault and sexual harassment (SASH) on campus were discussed.

Hirsch and Khan are changing the national conversation on SASH. Before coming to MMA, they keynoted the 2023 National Discussion, “Empowering Student Communities to Cultivate Healthy Climates,” hosted by the U.S. Army at West Point.

This event is part of CoR’s ongoing initiative to offer enriching learning experiences beyond the classroom.
