Description

The Globe and Mail’s Robyn Doolittle is one of Canada’s most ground-breaking journalists. From her intrepid investigating on Mayor Rob Ford to her award-winning “Unfounded” series, Doolittle has altered the way that people across the country think about power and politics. Based on the years she spent reporting on police mishandling of sexual assault cases, her timely and illuminating new book Had It Coming brings a personal voice to the #MeToo movement and its aftermath. At a time when the world is increasingly aware of the abuses perpetrated by men in positions of power—from Bill Cosby to Jian Ghomeshi—Doolittle joins us to discuss how attitudes around sexual behaviour have changed and still need to change.

In conversation with award-winning journalist and author Rachel Giese. Book sale and signing to follow.
