In this episode, Public Educator Cindy McMann chats with Amber Spence, a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Guelph who specializes in sexual violence.

We talk about how philosophy helped Amber in her journey as a survivor, what tools it can offer other survivors, how philosophy misses the mark in academic research on sexual violence and why that matters for the rest of us.
