Practical Strategies for Navigating Manosphere Attitudes in the Classroom
Session Description
Are you encountering sexist jokes, derisive remarks or escalating resistance when talking about gender, relationships or consent in your classroom?
From our work with schools across Australia, we're hearing this more and more, and it's increasingly taking the form of antagonising behaviour designed to provoke teachers and peers. If this sounds familiar, this session is for you.
Join Consent Labs’ Curriculum Development Lead and Program Facilitator, Evan Couper, for a practical professional development session to explore where this resistance comes from, how it shows up in your classroom, and effective ways educators can respond.
