Dr. Badera, I'm honored to be speaking with you today and especially to discuss your book, On the Wrong Side, How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence.
Thank you so much for speaking with me.
Thank you for having me.
Before becoming a researcher, you mentioned in your book that you were a victim advocate.
Did that early work of yours inspire you to get into this kind of research?
I'm curious how you got the access from Western University, where I believe you spent a year or more conducting research and interviewing survivors for your book.
I think I got really lucky in retrospect.
You discuss in your book dismantling the idea of a quote good school and how institutions often give off a vibe or in their advertising that they are progressive or they're safe.
I've seen this reflected in a lot of the interviews with the survivors I've spoken to that the expectation that they had or that their parents had when sending them to college was that they were going to be
But at minimum, they were going to be taken care of if something bad happened.
And sadly, none of them feel that they were this good school persona.

Something you wrote about was early patterns that signal a campus is likely to protect perpetrators.
What indicators should families and students look out for?
What misunderstandings about survivor behavior do universities often weaponize?

Can you talk about what that looks like in practice?
