#metoo workshops and lectures

Since 2019, I have been working as a consultant and lecturer on power abuse in the form of sexual harassment, gender-based violence, and discrimination since 2015. I have co-authored the activist guide “It’s not that grey” (2019) and the German book “Grauzonen gibt es nicht” (2020) and developed The Red Flag System, a multidimensional warning system to identify dynamics of harassment early on.

This warning system works effectively for prevention as it factors in perpetrator strategies, systemic factors, bystander behaviours, and the ways in which victims react to dynamics of power abuse. I collaborate with international universities and organisations of various scales, offering #metoo training and workshops to raise awareness about the pervasiveness of sexual harassment and the many forms it takes. The goal of my work is to give people the tools to correctly identify the dynamics of harassment and power abuse to understand the conditions and factors that uphold these systems and effectively work against them.

In my practice, I tackle the following questions:

• What is sexual harassment? Where does sexual harassment start?
• How can I recognize workplace harassment?
• What are early warning signs of power abuse?
• Was that harassment? (Spoiler alert: If you were looking that up, chances are the answer is yes. Shoot me an email and let's find out.)

My workshops and lectures address one of the building blocks of the European Commission's Gender Equality Plan Horizon Europe that renders European research funding contingent on measures against gender-based violence.
