Dr. Nicole Bedera is a sociologist and a nationally recognized expert on sexual violence and gender inequality. In her academic work, she studies how our social structures contribute to survivors’ trauma and make sexual violence likely to occur. She will be speaking on her work including her book—On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence—which was published in 2024 (University of California Press). Nicole puts her research into practice as an Affiliated Educator and the Center for Institutional Courage and as a co-founder of Beyond Compliance Consulting.
