Oct 11th 630pm -  Association for Women Journalists discusses Sexual Harassment in the Workplace:  The Facts and the Nuances presented by a  trio of experts -- a  psychologist, attorney and human resource director. 

 

Discussion - How women actually deal with sexual harassment will be the emphasis of psychologist Louise Fitzgerald, who is a Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Women’s Studies at  the University of Illinois in Champaign. A social science consultant to Prof. Anita Hill’s legal team, Fitzgerald will include the pluses and minuses of coping mechanisms used in addressing the issue in the "real world."
 
Attorney Joan Eagle will address the legal aspects, including how it is defined under federal, state and local laws, distinguishing sexual harassment from sex discrimination and what remedies are available. She will also give practical advice about how to handle supervisors, co-workers and just plain jerks.
 
Head of Human Resources at Bear Construction Company, Monica Brennan will present a view from the trenches based on her experiences in handling reports of harassment, discrimination and just plain offensive behavior. As a graduate in broadcasting, Brennan is particularly in tune with the AWJ audience.
