We Don’t Haze: From Documentary to Research-Based Prevention
October 28 @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
FreeJoin the College of Education and Human Development for an engaging session featuring We Don’t Haze, an award-winning, 16-minute documentary-style film exploring hazing, its impact, and how to prevent it.
Participants will view the film and engage in a facilitated discussion using companion resources developed by University of Maine researchers and graduates and StopHazing. The session will also highlight the research-to-practice process behind We Don’t Haze—from developing the film and accompanying resources to conducting an evaluation study examining its effectiveness as a hazing prevention strategy.
Presenters will share insights from the evaluation and published research in the Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, as well as how this work connects to the University of Maine’s R1 research environment and the broader work of the Hazing Prevention Research Lab and StopHazing shaping hazing prevention nationally. Participants will leave with practical ideas for using storytelling, discussion, and research-based resources to engage students and communities in meaningful hazing prevention.
