The stories and strategies of student activists fighting against
sexual violence in the #MeToo era. The global #MeToo movement that
began in 2017 sparked an explosion of activism to address systemic
problems of discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence. In
Voices of Campus Sexual Violence Activists, Ana M.
MartÃnez-Alemán and Susan B. Marine share the important stories
of college student activists fighting sexual violence. Based on
research and interviews, this timely book provides a close
examination of the promise and perils of activism on today's
college campuses. MartÃnez-Alemán and Marine map the terrain of
student activists whose work to influence institutional, state, and
federal policy represents a testament to the rich legacies of 1960s
activism and signals a new wave of social media–centered work in
the #MeToo era. These students share their strategies for
addressing sexual violence on their campuses and organizing and
rallying other students to their work. They describe their
motivations, their experiences dealing with the police and campus
administrations, and their goals as well as the effects of activism
on their mental health and physical well-being. Gen Z students
describe how they use collective mobilization and activism through
social media in addition to long-established campus organizing
techniques in the service of eradicating sexual violence on campus.
Unlike other explorations of the #MeToo movement, this book
highlights the experiences of prominent campus activists and their
allies and the policy and practice implications of their movements
for campus leaders, including senior student affairs administrators
and faculty. MartÃnez-Alemán and Marine conclude with
recommendations for institutional decision-making and practices
that incorporate the experiences and opinions of student activists.
Voices of Campus Sexual Violence Activists calls for a cultural
reset in institutional cultures to end sexual violence on campuses.
