Violence Interrupted : Confronting Sexual Violence on University Campuses, Paperback / softback Book

Violence Interrupted : Confronting Sexual Violence on University Campuses Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

We live in a moment of renewed and highly visible action on the issue of sexual violence.

Rape culture is a real and salient force that dominates campus climates and student experiences.

Canada has drafted a national framework, provincial legislation, and institutional policy to address incidences of sexual violence, and students have demanded that their universities respond.

Yet rape culture persists on campuses throughout North America.

Violence Interrupted presents different ways of thinking about sexual violence.

It draws together multiple disciplinary perspectives to synthesize new conceptual directions on the nature of the problem and the changes that are required to address it.

Analyzing survey data, educational programs, participatory photography projects, interviews, autoethnography, legal case studies, and existing policy, contributors open up the conversation to illustrate sexual violence on campus as a structural, cultural, and complex social phenomenon.

The diversity of methodologies sets this study apart: a problem as complex and far-reaching as rape culture must be approached from a multitude of angles.

Decades have passed since student advocates first called for "no means no" campaigns, but universities are still struggling to evolve.

Violence Interrupted answers the call by bridging the gap between advocacy, research, and institutional change.
