The event will take place at the Lawrence campus and be streamed across campuses, uniting all campuses in a shared commitment to sexual assault awareness, prevention, and accountability. The program is open to KU faculty, staff, students, and community members.

REGISTRATION & EVENT WEBSITE (registration is required)

The event features back-to-back documentary film screenings of the Oscar-nominated Black Box Diaries (2024), directed by Japanese journalist and survivor Shiori Ito, and Loud Enough (2023), directed by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Hilary Klotz Steinman, who deftly chronicles the experience of Kansas sexual assault survivor Madison Smith and her family. A moderated dialogue will follow with Ito, Steinman, Smith, her family, and detective Justin Boardman. Together, they will explore the cultural differences and structural similarities of their experiences surrounding sexual violence, social injustice, institutional responses, and the power of storytelling.

This interdisciplinary and international program bridges journalism and storytelling, law and law enforcement, gender and sexuality studies, social welfare, psychology, and area studies. By situating Kansas within a transnational feminist framework, the event models how global perspectives deepen local understanding. As a public-facing event, it demonstrates KU’s OneKU vision: bringing campuses and communities together to advance scholarship, prevention, and collective responsibility in addressing sexual violence.
