Professor Sarah Deer, Professor of Law at Mitchell Hamline School of Law Professor, winner of the 8th Labriola Center National Book Award for her book The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America, traveled to the Labriola Center on May 2, 2016 to receive her award and discussed the book. Dr. David Martinez, professor of American Indian Studies at ASU, interviewed Professor Sarah Deer about her early work with rape survivors (including Haskell University students), why the word epidemic is not the best term to describe violence against Native women, and the impact of federal law and policy.
