Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series – ISO Truth: Truth-Seeking and Relational Agency in the Aftermath of Gender-Based Violence

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 from 12:30-1:30pm (PT)
ISO Truth: Truth-Seeking and Relational Agency in the Aftermath of Gender-Based Violence
Rachel J. Wechsler, Associate Professor, University of Missouri School of Law
Via Zoom
Gender-based violence survivors’ pursuit of truth is often complicated by systemic discounts to their credibility, institutional resistance, and, particularly in recent years, a post-truth epistemic environment. Despite these challenges, survivors consistently exercise individual and collective agency in pursuit of truth in the aftermath of their victimization. I draw on transitional justice and relational agency theory to explore the contours and significance of truth-seeking in relation to gender-based violence, both for survivors and for wider society.
