Event Research Integrity Round

Research Integrity Round 13 September 2023 The Learning Curve: Theatre play about (sexual) intimidation and abuse of power in academic context

Theme 

Many of us know stories about (sexual) intimidation and abuse of powers on the academic working flour. Either from their own experience or from hear say. The aim of this Research Integrity Round is to stimulate the conversation and raise awareness about these and related topics like social (un)safety, harassment, unwelcome behavior, and unequal power relations in the academia. We should address these problems to improve things. 

“Het Acteursgenootschap” (The Dutch Actors Society) has been invited for this Research Integrity Round (on location after many online editions...). Their theatre play “The Learning Curve” provides an excellent opportunity to discuss our theme. The play contains diverse situations in which academics cross borders, either implicitly or explicitly. 

The performance will be followed by an exchange of experiences and insights and a discussion about the question how we can foster a safe and positive academic working space for all.
