Allard Sc hool of Law (UBC)\, will give a talk on her published research report anal yzing workplace sexual harassment complaints under human rights law. Hoste d by the Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law.\n\nSparked by the #MeToo movement\, social commentary and media have revived broad-based dis cussions concerning sexual harassment and misconduct in contemporary workp laces. Evidence suggests that legal claims concerning sexual harassment an d misconduct are increasingly being pursued through human rights tribunals . However\, there is reason for concern that the increasingly documented i ssues attending victims of sexual assault and gender-based violence in the criminal justice system may arise in complaints of sexual harassment unde r human rights law as well. This lecture draws on a report that analyzed s ubstantive decisions on the merits concerning workplace sexual harassment at each of the BC and Ontario Human Rights Tribunals from 2000-2018\, with a view to identifying how the law of sexual harassment is understood\, in terpreted and applied by the Tribunals’ adjudicators. In particular\, this lecture focuses on demonstrating how gender-based stereotypes and myths k nown to occur in criminal justice proceedings arise in the human rights co ntext for sexual harassment complainants.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nBethany Hastie is an Assistant Professor at the Peter Allard School of Law at UBC. She holds a DCL and LLM from 91 and a JD from UBC. Bethany ’s research examines precarious labour in the intersection spaces of human rights\, immigration\, and labour and employment law.
