#MeToo in the Academic Library: A Quantitative Measurement of the Prevalence of Sexual Harassment in Academic Libraries
Benjes-Small, Candice; Knievel, Jennifer E.; Resor-Whicker, Jennifer; Wisecup, Allison; Hunter, Joanna
College & Research Libraries, v82 n5 p623-641 Jul 2021
The #MeToo movement has prompted national discussions about workplace sexual harassment. Social science research suggests that female-dominated professions experience a high degree of workplace sexual harassment from supervisors, coworkers, and clients. Anecdotal evidence suggests that librarians experience sexual harassment. The authors administered a vetted, widely used survey to quantitatively measure for the first time how widespread sexual harassment is within academic libraries.
