AMS Nest (Performance Theatre), University of British Columbia April 8, 2017 “Subverting Silence: How can we change the dialogue on sexual violence?” was the organizing theme for the 2017 ACAM Dialogues Symposium. This public event culminated a year of organizing monthly dialogues on sexual violence as it impacts Asian Canadian communities. We invited participants to explore what “subversion” and “silence” meant through Asian Canadian contexts, and how we could take collective action as students, staff, and faculty to change the conversation on sexual violence at UBC and beyond. The ACAM Dialogues Symposium was generously sponsored by the UBC Equity Enhancement Fund, St. John’s College, AMS Sexual Assault Support Centre, CiTR 101.9 FM and Discorder Magazine, and UBC Student Development and Services. ACAM Dialogues: Extending the Conversation on Sexual Violence in Asian Communities on Campus and Beyond examines the intersections of race, gender, and violence, especially as they impact Asian student communities and open up spaces for students to share experiences and resources, build analyses, and discuss strategies of organizing against sexual and other forms of violence.
