In the United States, approximately one in five women experiences
rape during college, and LGBTQ students experience sexual violence
at even higher rates. An increasing number of interested parties,
from activists and students to legislators and university
administrators, are re-evaluating the role that universities and
colleges play in the incidence of sexual violence on their
campuses. To this end, the number of U.S. universities under
investigation for mishandling sexual assaults has recently grown to
the highest count to date. Many more universities, guided by
federal laws such as Title IX and the Clery Act, are working to
better prevent and address various forms of assault on their
campuses by implementing new policies, reporting procedures, and
investigative processes. Now that such measures have been
implemented for several years, however, the question arises of
whether these institutional changes are actually combatting the
issue of campus sexual assault or whether they might in practice be
reproducing that violence in other forms. In Beyond the Rapist,
Kate Lockwood Harris considers this question and how the
relationships among organization, communication, and violence
inform how we understand the ways in which universities talk about
and respond to sexual violence. Drawing upon theoretical insights
from feminist new materialism, Harris explores how complex physical
and symbolic components of violence are embedded in organizations
and applies this thinking to the policies and practices of a
university known for its Title IX processes. In doing so, she
suggests that combatting the epidemic of sexual violence on college
campus involves both recognizing that sexual violence is part of
larger systems of injustice and refining our definition of violence
to encompass far more than individual moments of physical injury.
