Making Spaces Safer

Shawna Potter turns decades of experience into a clear and concise guide for public spaces of all sorts, from art galleries to bagel shops to concert halls, that want to shut down harassers wherever they show up. The steps she outlines are realistic, practical, and actionable.

With the addition of personal stories, case studies, sample policies, and no-nonsense advice like ‘How to Flirt without Being a Creep,’ Potter shows why safer spaces are important, while making it easier to achieve them. Eschewing theory, she assumes the reader is already an ethical creature and jumps right in with candour, punk passion, and righteous anger to get the job done!
