The New Consent Narrative

An Ode to the MCVP

On this week’s episode of The New Consent Narrative, Jilly Mcbane sits down to record a solo segment where she shares insight on her past four years working at the MCVP. She reflects on the fundamental ways she’s changed: letting go of perfectionism, embracing community and collaborative work, and recognizing her own capacity to cause harm. She talks about fun projects she has gotten to work on, including the You Might Be Causing Harm If Campaign, which was launched on campus at the University of Utah in spring 2023, as well as educational posts on the @uofucvp instagram [https://www.instagram.com/uofucvp/] and blog [https://violenceprevention.utah.edu/blog/], and this very podcast. Ending sexual violence is a mission that calls for deep self reflection and personal accountability. She thanks the many people who have supported her work and growth along the way.

On Working With People Who’ve Caused Harm

On this week’s episode of The New Consent Narrative, Jilly Mcbane sits down with Elaine Newton, who recently accepted the position as new director of the MCVP! Elaine has been around on campus for some time, formerly serving as education specialist for the University of Utah’s Office of Equal Opportunity [https://oeo.utah.edu/]. Elaine has extensive experience working with people who’ve caused harm, particularly “respondents,” or individuals who have had a report made about their behavior. Jilly and Elaine discuss prevention, and how intervention with students about their behavior can be nuanced. It can stir up emotions, deep reflection, but ultimately prevent that same harmful behavior from happening again. Their discussion about Elaine’s work, her approach to education and her guiding philosophies is one you won’t want to miss! Further, Elaine pictures how working with people who’ve caused harm might look similar and/or different for her as director.  To learn more about Elaine and her exciting transition as director of the MCVP, read the article here [https://attheu.utah.edu/announcements/meet-elaine-newton-new-director-of-the-mccluskey-center-for-violence-prevention/]!

Kitchen Convos

On this week’s episode of The New Consent Narrative, Jilly Mcbane is joined by close friend, Sarah Herring, who is a psychology and business student at the University of Utah. Sarah shares her experience of harm during a summer job in Madeira, Portugal. Together, Sarah and Jilly analyze the contextual factors related to power, privilege, and identity that created this experience of harm. They dive into concepts such as the role of the bystander, victim blaming, and rape myths, and how it applies to primary prevention of harm for all college students. There is power in personal narratives, and this is a personal narrative you are going to want to hear.

Unspoken Rules of Relationships

On this week’s episode of The New Consent Narrative, Jilly Mcbane is joined by Allie Moore, education content coordinator at the MCVP. They dive into the different types of relationships college students experience, including dating relationships, situationships, hookups, and friendships. They draw from some of their own relationship experience and how we can start to understand and dismantle our unspoken assumptions and rules to avoid causing harm. A few takeaways include reflecting on our own expectations and boundaries and practicing consistent communication with others.  To learn more about the University of Utah's McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, visit the website by clicking on this link [https://violenceprevention.utah.edu/].

An Abolitionist Approach to Ending Sexual Violence

In this episode, host Jilly Mcbane talks with three scholars—Chris Linder, Nadeeka Karunaratne, and Niah Grimes—about how abolitionist practices can end sexual violence in higher education, once and for all. Together, they dismantle the idea that policing and punishment are the appropriate solutions for ending sexual violence. Instead, they envision a world where violence ceases to exist and invite listeners to do the same. Throughout the discussion, they reference Linder, Karunaratne, and Grimes’s new book “Thinking Like an Abolitionist to End Sexual Violence in Higher Education,” as well as crediting other scholars and dreamers in the field. This is a passionate and inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss.
