Episode 2: Vignettes as a tool to counteract sexism

In this episode, Associated Professor Ana Maria Munar presents the pedagogics and method of vignettes as a tool to counteract sexism. We look at the perspectives of why the use of vignettes are a democratic way to discuss sexism, what do we gainand what are the weaknesses when using this method. You get advice on how to use vignettes in your own organization. We look at what happens at Christmas Parties when people are still at work but now with alcohol included. Ana Maria Munar explains why the reply “Why didn’t you do anything” can re-traumatize the victim and why gaslighting is so dangerous for a person. We review vignettes within the themes; Psychical assault, victim-blaming, public humiliation and hostile sexism, and institutionalized sexism.
