• The #MeToo movement has taken on sexual harassment in the workplace and served to inform the world that these unacceptable and illegal acts have become commonplace, including in academic settings. Through this platform, women are empowering each other to fight back against egregious behaviors that have infiltrated the workplace for decades.
