Meg Bossong has spent her entire professional career in the realms of sexual violence prevention and response, including direct work with survivors, people who have done harm, their loved ones, and communities. Meg is the Executive Director of MASOC, the MA Society for a World Free of Sexual Harm by Youth, which focuses on equipping clinicians and other youth-serving professionals with the research, clinical, and programmatic tools to effectively respond to and prevent sexual harm by young people. For the prior decade, Meg was working with college students as the Director of Intimate Violence Prevention & Response and Health Education at Williams College. There, she worked to incorporate leading edge research on problem sexual behaviors in late adolescents into curriculum design and student support, situational prevention through environmental design, and incorporating restorative and transformative justice practices into prevention and response. Meg also held several prevention and community mobilization roles with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) from 2007-2014, including working with the social groups of students who had harmed others in both high school and college settings. She holds a B.A. from Williams College in political science and an M.S. in law and public policy from Northeastern University, with concentrations in both degrees focused on multidisciplinary approaches to social change.
