Fighting Rape Myths with Empathy – Rosenthal article

Posted on June 1, 2016 by Wendy Maltz - Sexual Abuse Healing

A new voice — a smart, heartfelt read. Marina Rosenthal, teacher and therapist at the University of Oregon, has written an illuminating article in the Huffington Post on her experiences teaching about rape myths and sexual assault in the classroom setting.

It was my pleasure to advise and work with Marina on this article. I’m so impressed with her writing, compassion, and insights. What’s more, Marina now has her own blog on Huffington Post and we can look forward to more articles of hers in the future!
