DESCRIPTION:On Zoom.\n\nAbstract\n\nCampus sexual violence has become the p
 rovince of increased rulemaking\, governance\, and bureaucratic activity i
 n the last ten years. Feminist law and policymakers have campaigned for ta
 rgeted reforms in this area\, including the widespread adoption of campus 
 sexual violence policies at colleges and universities in Canada and the Un
 ited States. In this talk\, I provide a critical feminist perspective on t
 he progress of campus sexual violence reform in Canada. I will argue that 
 campus sexual violence policies have evolved to reflect what I call the id
 eology of legal centralism\, 'taking sexual abuse seriously' by privilegin
 g the formal law and campus adjudication over other systems of justice. Cr
 ucially\, the ideology of legal centralism has entailed a corresponding sk
 epticism\, if not categorical rejection of consensual dispute resolution (
 i.e.\, mediation and restorative justice) for challenging this methodology
 . I will argue that this is a mistake. One of my purposes in the talk is t
 o recalibrate feminism’s relationship with informal law and to explore the
  possibilities of consensual dispute resolution as a site of radical\, str
 uctural change on campus.\n\nBiography\n\ndaniel.delgobbo [at] mcgill.ca (
 Daniel Del Gobbo) is a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow at the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøUniversit
 y Faculty of Law. His research and teaching fall at the intersection of ci
 vil procedure\, access to justice\, human rights\, and critical theory\, w
 ith a focus on issues of gender and sexuality. Publishing widely in these 
 areas\, Daniel has a book forthcoming with the University of Toronto Press
 \, Negotiating Feminism: Charting a Path through Law\, Sex\, and Violence\
 , which traces the reflection of the feminist 'sex wars' from the late 197
 0s to the early 1990s in contemporary debates about the role of law in add
 ressing the problem of campus sexual violence. Previously\, Daniel earned 
 his S.J.D. from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2021\, where h
 e was a Trudeau Scholar\, SSHRC Doctoral Fellow\, and CBA Viscount Bennett
  Fellow. He earned his LL.M. from Harvard Law School in 2015 and J.D. from
