#ThisEndsHere: Confronting Sexual Assault and Harassment in Our Campus Communities

Abstract

Sexual harassment and assault are longstanding social justice issues at universities and colleges around the world. Recent activist movements, including #MeToo and #LoSHA, have drawn renewed attention to sexual violence in campus communities and academic departments. Through public testimony, survivors have made the widespread nature of assault and harassment in higher education undeniably clear. Less clear, however, is what faculty, staff, and students can do to address sexual violence on campus and hostile climates in academia. This collection of articles considers these issues across a variety of contexts and advances an array of different tactics for responding to assault and harassment and dismantling the norms and attitudes that enable misconduct to persist.
