An off-white poster flying in the wind. Blurry pink type reads "He knew the right thing to ask and how to ask it in such a way that it was impossible for me to say no". Light text, barely visible, provides the context to the quote: "The power imbalance between academic staff and students distorts the mechanics of consent between them.It enables teachers, deliberately or not, to blur the line between private and professional, gradually normalizing increasingly inappropriate advances. The slow progression ofthese relationships makes them difficult to recognize. Each incidence might appear innocuous until they’re examined together as a pattern of behavior".
