In this article, Liz Jackson and Ana Luisa Muñoz-García analyze three recent policy cases for decreasing sexual…

This paper situates sexual harassment and violence in the neoliberal university. Using data from a 'composite ethnography' representing twelve years of research, I argue that institutional inaction on these issues reflects how they are 'reckoned up' in the context of gender and other structures. The impact of disclosure is projected in market…

Evidence from intervention evaluations suggests that achieving meaningful and lasting social, behavioural and attitudinal change from relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) in schools requires more than just a curriculum. Whole-school approaches appear particularly promising since they work at multiple levels. For instance, they may:…

In this essay, Huey-li Li first undertakes a reexamination of the theoretical and practical merits of applying intersectionality to analyze how gender infiltrates and becomes entangled with other registers of nonsexual harassment. She further presents three vignettes of ambiguous nonsexual harassment in order to inquire into how the intersections…
