The Whisper Coalition is a research group focused on turning the whispers of those who experience sexual harassment and subtle or overt gender discrimination into a united, powerful coalition. We communicate stories, research, and advice based on scientific evidence to raise awareness of sexual harassment and issues related to gender equality. Our goal is to provide practical tools for reducing sexual harassment and improving gender equality in the workplace and beyond.
JENN & KELSEY
Jenn and Kelsey became fast friends over pancakes at the Norman, Oklahoma restaurant, Syrup. A mutual friend connected them based on their shared interest and general loud mouthery on sexual harassment and "lady problems." They began doing research on these topics in 2015 and have continued to do so, as well as eat pancakes, since. Both Jenn and Kelsey share a passion for communicating scientific evidence outside of the academy walls and helping organizations
leverage science to produce real change.
