Inhalt: Hate speech is endemic in digital space, and it does not spare academia. Especially scholars working in fields prone to political debate – from migration to climate change, from gender to refugee integration, and many more topics – find themselves increasingly attacked. With this chapter, we hope to raise awareness for the increasingly prevalent phenomenon of cyberhate targeting academics. Our intention is to shed light on some of its harmful effects, and, by providing some conceptual analysis, to contribute to individual and organisational prevention and coping strategies. We conclude that guarding against cyberhate is now part of academics’ and their institutions’ responsibility.

Using the law to challenge gender based violence in university communities
Autor/in:
Whitfield, Louise
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 149–167
Inhalt: Although laws do exist to protect women from violence against women and girls (VAWG) on campus, they are rarely used by survivors and routinely ignored by the institutions. There have been very few cases in this area, making legal analysis difficult but this chapter looks at the existing law and how it could be used more to bring about much-needed change in the accountability of universities and respect for women’s rights. The very small number of cases to date reflect both the cultural and legal landscape as well as the difficulties women face in bringing such cases.

Sexual violence on US college campuses: history and challenges

Inhalt: In the United States, research about sexual violence on campus goes back into the 1950s (Kanin, 1957; Kirkpatrick and Kanin, 1957). Many more studies have followed (Fisher, Daigle and Cullen, 2010), and successive waves of rape prevention programmes have been rolled out on campuses across the country. The US Congress has weighed in with federal legislation, the White House took on the issue in 2014, and media reporting of campus sexual assault scandals has soared. Yet, the problem continues. Why this is is difficult to answer.

Understanding student responses to gender based violence on campus: negotiation, reinscription and resistance
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 189–209
Inhalt: This chapter presents findings from the ‘Stand Together’ action research project at the University of Lincoln (UOL), one of the first bystander intervention (BI) programmes designed to challenge gender based violence (GBV) in a UK university. The research accompanying this project investigated student attitudes to GBV and the potential of prevention education. The focus of this chapter is on two sites which emerged in student accounts as key spaces where acts of GBV occur, as well as where sexist and heteronormative gender norms are reinscribed, negotiated and resisted: social media and the night-time economy (NTE).

Tackling gender based violence in university communities: a practioner perspective
Autor/in:
Hutchinson, Ellie
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 229–240
Inhalt: This chapter describes an approach, dubbed Get Savi (Students Against Violence Initiative), for tackling gender based violence (GBV) in university communities. Get Savi was developed and delivered in Scotland between 2012 and 2015. The chapter first provides an overview of the broader policy and political context in which the Get Savi programme was developed, with particular emphasis on the importance of a political consensus around the causes of violence against women and girls (VAWG). It then examines the practical process underlying the development of the Get Savi programme, along with the role of partnerships in the development and in the re-imagining of the prevention education programme for a Scottish audience. Finally, it considers some of the ongoing challenges and draws together learnings from the project to make recommendations for future policies and programmes on prevention education for student communities in the UK and beyond.

The Intervention Initiative: theoretical underpinnings, development and implementation
Autor/in:
Fenton, Rachel A.; Mott, Helen L.
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 169–188
Inhalt: The bystander approach to prevention of violence against women is predicated upon empowering bystanders to intervene in a positive, pro-social way upon witnessing an event that they recognise to be problematic. The intervention made has potentially powerful social effects: it sends a clear message to the culprit about the social unacceptability of their behaviour, while concurrently alerting other bystanders to the appropriateness of challenging it. Constant and reinforced messaging about the unacceptability of behaviour within communities can thus shift social norms as to what constitutes desirable behaviour.

Grounds for concern: an Australian perspective on responses to sexual assault and harassment in university settings
Autor/in:
Durbach, Andrea; Grey, Rosemary
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 83–104
Inhalt: This chapter examines the limited attention given to prevention within Australian policy responses to sexual assault and harassment in university settings. It draws on the findings of Change the Course: National Report on Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment at Australian Universities , released by the Australian Human Rights Commission in 2017. The chapter first describes the historical and political context for the survey, which was initiated in response to the problem of sexual violence in Australian campuses. It then considers the initial steps taken following the release of the survey with the goal of strengthening Australian university responses to sexual harassment and assault. It also discusses recent developments from universities with regard to the problem of sexual violence and some of the key challenges that need to be addressed. Finally, it suggests a long-term approach to address sexual assault and harassment that shifts the focus from risk management to harm prevention.

Preventing gender based violence in UK universities: the policy context
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 105–126
Inhalt: Gender based violence (GBV) is a policy area which shows a degree of variation across the UK and merits examination for the impact this may have on how universities address this issue on campus sexual violence. This chapter will begin by outlining the current situation facing UK universities as they develop their responses to GBV. It will then contextualise this by examining the key factors influencing GBV policy in each of the home nations using a three point conceptual framework. The chapter will then summarise current developments in universities’ approaches to the issue in their national context. The chapter will conclude by offering some observations on the opportunities and challenges facing the UK Higher Education sector as it develops its approach to GBV prevention.

Student feminist activism to challenge gender based violence
Autor/in:
Lewis, Ruth; Marine, Susan
Quelle: Gender based violence in university communities. Sundari Anitha (Hrsg.), Ruth Lewis (Hrsg.). Bristol: Policy Press.. 2018, S 129–147
Inhalt: In the midst of growing attention to and concern about gender based violence (GBV) in universities, a key piece in the jigsaw of responses to GBV are student activists who resist GBV and supporting cultures. This activism has attracted criticism from some quarters which caricatures students as delicate, precious and easily offended, resorting to silencing those they deem to cause offence, thereby threatening freedom of speech. In this environment where voicing resistance, silencing, and freedom of speech are coexisting realities, this chapter explores how feminist communities help young feminists to find their voice to say the unsayable.
