Sarah Schulman, author of Conflict is Not Abuse - 018

But Her Lyrics...

Harm occurs on an unfortunately wide spectrum. How do we find the appropriate and commensurate path for repair? How do we know if someone is overstating harm? When does the pursuit of justice turn into the abuse of others? And what do we do about it? Listen as host Shawna speaks with Sarah Schulman, author of Conflict is not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair about this important, difficult, and somewhat controversial topic. Content Warning: sexual violence, victim-blaming, abuse, harm
