Me Too Political Science explores the multiple manifestations and
implications of gendered biases in Political Science by "connecting
the dots" between the sexual harassment described in the recent
report on 2017 American Political Science Association's Survey on
Sexual Harassment at Annual Meetings and other problematic issues.
Started by Tarana Burke in 2007 to stand with young women of color
who survived sexual assault, the MeToo campaign was intended to let
women know that they were not alone. In turn, the Women's Caucus
for Political Science used #MeTooPoliSci to bring awareness to
sexual harassment, assault and misconduct in the discipline. The
essays in this book and the authors' scholarly activism, harnessed
a collective power to dispel the shame, embarrassment and secrecy
that surrounds these issues. They focus in particular on bullying,
entitled and toxic forms of masculinity; systematic discounting of
and dismissiveness and derision toward work on gender and
sexuality; biases and inequities associated with hiring, teaching
evaluations, service loads, and tenure and promotion; and related
and often intersecting forms of harassment but not only those
related to race and sexuality. The essays in this volume stem for
the 2018 pre-conference held by the Women's Caucus for Political
Science at the American Political Science Association's annual
meeting. Me Too Political Science is of great importance not only
to scholars interested in Gender and Women's Studies, but all those
working in the Political Science discipline - and even beyond, to
academia as a whole. The chapters were originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Women, Politics and Policy.
