This book is the culmination of three years of research into sexual violence policies and sexual consent education at post-secondary institutions across Canada.

D. Scharie Tavcer joined Mount Royal University in 2004 where she is now an Associate Professor in the Criminal Justice Degree Program. Dr. Tavcer believes in teaching that has components of experiential learning and/or community service learning. This involves incorporating lived experience into her lectures through guests or off-campus events and providing students with real-world scenarios with real people in real situations. Dr. Tavcer proudly teaches students who wish to enter the criminal justice profession. Many of her students come to university with a narrow view of the world, and others have had some intense lived experiences. But all of them hope to make a difference in the justice system, and she works towards helping them with that goal. Dr. Tavcer's teaching strives to ignite their interest in questioning, reflecting, and addressing the social justice issues within the criminal justice professions. Dr. Tavcer's scholarship approach extends into the social justice arenas of our criminal justice system. Her work is also intentionally interdisciplinary and intersectional, and she strives for it to be applied research so that the important questions continue to be asked. Dr. Tavcer's scholarship (and teaching) focuses on sexual violence, relationship violence, as well as mental illness and its prevalence in corrections, offender reintegration, criminal law and sentencing, and occupational stress injuries in justice workers. And regardless of the focus, each project aims to be applied research - that the outcome of the research informs practice in some manner. Vicky Dobkins is completing a Master of Arts in Human Security and Peacebuilding at Royal Roads University. She is currently employed as a paralegal at a law firm and a crisis counsellor on the Calgary Sexual Assault Response Team (CSART). Her background includes social work and paramedicine, and she has worked on the front lines in varying capacities for over a decade. Vicky believes in taking a holistic approach when tackling social justice issues and utilising different disciplines as a vehicle for social change. Her personal and professional practice stems from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, feminist lens; above all else, she considers herself a human rights advocate.
