Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy - Paperback

by Lee Skallerup Bessette (Contribution by), Hélène Bigras-Dutrisac (Contribution by), Lynn Z. Bloom (Contribution by)

Powerfully written and theoretically grounded, Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy collects a range of perspectives from sexual assault survivors with backgrounds in academia. The contributors in this collection connect their experiences of sexual violence to their research and work within the academy as well as their lives outside of it. Contributors analyze the events surrounding their experiences with sexual violence as well as the cultural, social, and political effects. Their analyses are located within discussions of recent cultural events and the larger contexts of race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, sexuality, region, and nation.
