DESCRIPTION:The abduction and murder of Sarah Everard in London in March o
 f this year was followed by an outpouring of grief and rage from women acr
 oss the world. Many took to online spaces to document for the first time t
 he range of habitual forms of safety work they perform in public in respon
 se to the threat and reality of public sexual harassment. This safety work
 \, mandated for women and girls in public\, functions to limit women’s s
 pace for action and responsibilise them for preventing violence. Despite t
 his\, the impact of public sexual harassment has been rarely studied acade
 mically. Drawing from one of the first in-depth studies of the phenomenon 
 conducted in the UK\, this webinar will discuss the range and extent of pu
 blic sexual harassment on women and girls and explore what their articulat
 ions of safety work reveal of the tension between freedom and safety. Spea
 ker's profile is here. Link to paper (open access): https://doi.org/10.108
