About the Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) Program: The Engendering Respectful Communities Program (ERC) pilot program grew out of a collaboration between Rackham Graduate School, SAPAC and other Student Life units, and the Educational Theatre Company. ERC is a one-session workshop (with possibility of follow-up sessions) combining multiple instructional tools to engage graduate students in meaningful dialogue about the various forms of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault, and discrimination that they may encounter. Participants are then able to build skills on how to intervene safely in potentially harmful situations. ERC workshops make use of the circle process, which focuses on building meaningful connections between participants and ensuring all participants can engage in respectful dialogue. The ERC workshop is a collaboration between SAPAC and PEAR, which means all sessions are co-facilitated by each respective office. Each workshop will have staff members from SAPAC and/or PEAR present alongside graduate student facilitators.
