Women of Color Undergraduate Students' Experiences with Campus Sexual Assault: An Intersectional Analysis
Harris, Jessica C.
Review of Higher Education, v44 n1 p1-30 Fall 2020
Many higher education scholars, policy makers, and practitioners continue to ignore the intersections of race and gender when focusing on campus sexual assault (CSA) for the undergraduate student population. This race-evasive approach contributes to incomplete and inaccurate understandings about the ways Women of Color students experience CSA. Subsequently, race-evasive approaches often inform ineffective efforts to address and eradicate CSA for all campus populations, particularly for students with multiple minoritized identities. Guided by the concept of intersectionality, this research explores how intersecting systems of domination, specifically racism and sexism, influence 34 Women of Color undergraduate student survivors' experiences with CSA. Study findings demonstrate how an intersectional approach to CSA elicits information that guides more effective efforts to eradicate sexual assault.
