• Simone de Beauvoir Institute principal and associate professor of political science in the Faculty of Arts and Science Kimberley Manning is quoted in a CBC.ca story about an RCMP press release detailing how women can avoid being sexually assaulted. Critics say it's unfortunate the release focused only on women and Manning says it failed to address underlying issues or encourage victim support groups. The quotes of Manning are from a CBC Nunavut radio interview (no audio link available). Manning will appear on CBC Radio’s Seat at the Table Saturday August, 12 to discuss a Pride Conference that is being hosted by the Simone de Beauvoir Institute.
