Last October, accusations of sexual assault against film mogul Harvey Weinstein from some of Hollywood’s biggest names prompted thousands of women to post #metoo on Facebook and Twitter, indicating that they too have experienced sexual assault or harassment. In the months since, women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against a slough of powerful men in entertainment, politics, media and other fields -- in many cases, leading to their ousters. But what’s next?
In this special event presented by KQED audience members will watch a panel of experts discuss what comes next after #metoo, before tackling some of the most biting questions surrounding the issue themselves in an interactive conversation with each other.
Doors open at 6:30PM
