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.
