The front cover of Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law appears on the left. On the right is an image of author Mandi Gray.
On Thursday March 14 at 7pm, join Mandi Gray (@mandigray.bsky.social) for the Winnipeg launch of Suing for Silence: Sexual Violence and Defamation Law (@ubcpress.bsky.social), hosted by Katrina Clarke - mailchi.mp/grant/mandi-...
Congrats to @mandigray.bsky.social on the publication of her new book!
I crushed this book on the train this week. Full disclosure : My story is listed in this book. VERY familiar with defamation law in Canada and yet, still learned a great deal.
Congrats, Mandi! Such important work!
