#YouToo: Notes on Sexual Harassment and Assault in the Academy

In: International review of qualitative research: IRQR, Band 14, Heft 2, S. 266-275

Abstract

In this collaborative autoethnography, we unmask our experiences with sexual assault and harassment in academic contexts through the use of a note format. We describe moments characterized by shame and anger, as well as moments of disciplining when we called out untoward behavior. We call attention to bystanders by describing instances of sexual harassment and assault in an article that will be read primarily by academics. This represents a feminist response to sexual harassment and assault in the academy in the hopes of challenging the normalized behavior.
