The FASSM 2019 Conference offered a unique opportunity for people from multiple countries to come together to discuss experiences, research, and advocacy around an endemic issue in sexual misconduct. We were honored to facilitate the conference and now hope this community can continue to grow. We will share this space to promote resources and hope others will take on leadership roles in furthering the cause of an equitable and just academia. We start with gender equity, but hope for equity for all.

The 1752 Group is a UK-based research and lobby organisation working to end sexual misconduct in higher education.

The 1752 Group draws on expertise from our backgrounds in organisational change, student unions, private and public sector consultancy, facilitation, corporate training, grassroots activism, and research. Our work has contributed to a national conversation in the UK and we are leading action on staff-to-student sexual misconduct in higher education. Sexual misconduct by staff is under-reported and under-researched. Higher education institutions in the UK need to be leading the change to prevent cultures of abuse, respond effectively and without inflicting further harm, ensure robust, student-centred reporting and investigation procedures, and implement policies and procedures to eliminate the sexual misconduct of academic, professional services, contracted and temporary staff.
