Abstract

Join us for a screening of Us Too: Alisha’s Story. Written by Julie Tsang and directed by Katja Roberts, the film focuses on the experiences of women with learning disabilities reporting sexual violence. Us Too: Alisha’s story was co-created by Us Too- experts by experience, Open Clasp Theatre Company, and researchers from Durham and Sunderland University. Us Too were supported in the project by Association for Real Change (ARC England). The film was funded by Durham University ESRC Impact Acceleration Account, Research England Participatory Action Research Fund and Sunderland University, and has been used in reflective practice workshops with Durham Constabulary and Durham County Council. The film will be introduced by Alison Jobe (Durham University) and Helen Williams (University of Sunderland). The film screening will be followed by an opportunity to reflect on the film

and to consider how learning from lived experience can influence and develop inclusive practice. More about Us Too: Alisha' s Story and related research projects here: Us Too Alisha's Story - Towards inclusive criminal justice responses to sexual violence (durham.ac.uk)
