The Center for Gender, Sexualities, and Women’s Studies Research invites you to a timely screening of the documentary “Anita: Speaking Truth to Power,” followed by a discussion about abuse of power and sexual harassment.

Dean Laura Rosenbury, Center affiliate and Levin, Mabie & Levin Professor of Law at the UF Levin College of Law, will be introducing the documentary with opening remarks about the significance of Dr. Anita Hill’s testimony and the Judge Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. In the wake of the recent testimony by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford at the Judge Kavanaugh hearings, revisiting “Anita” is an opportunity to explore similarities and differences in these two landmark moments.

Following the documentary, Dr. Zully Rivera-Ramos and Dr. Natasha Maynard-Pemba from the UF Counseling and Wellness Center will facilitate a discussion. There will be popcorn, sandwiches, and beverages available during the film.

Join us to reflect together on the power of women’s voices, race, sexual harassment, and power in law and government. This Film screening is a part of the #HearMeToo Series at the UF Center for Gender, Sexualities, and Women’s Studies Research, marking the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the beginning of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. This event is free and open to the publc. For questions, contact Dr. Maddy Coy at m.coy@ufl.edu.
