Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus
This program is presented by the Gender+ Justice Initiative, Women’s Center, Georgetown College, Women’s and Gender Studies Program, Title IX Office, and Student Health Services.
Join us for a conversation with Jennifer Hirsch and Shamus Khan the authors of Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus (2021).
Sexual Citizens is a groundbreaking study that transforms how we understand and address sexual assault. Through intimate portraits of life and sex among today’s college students, the authors reveals the social ecosystem that makes sexual assault a predictable element of life on a college campus. The powerful concepts of sexual projects, sexual citizenship, and sexual geographies, provide a new language for understanding the forces that shape young people’s sexual relationships. The result transforms our understanding of sexual assault and provides a new roadmap for how to address it.
