A Conversation with the Authors of Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus

Campuses are uniquely positioned to create environments that protect students against sexual assault and dating violence and to partner across on- and off-campus entities for a common purpose. Campuses are also experiencing a time of intense change due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a new round of changes coming as campuses think about what a new normal looks like for their community. Join PreventConnect as they host a web conference conversation with Jennifer Hirsch and Shamus Khan, authors of Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus. They will discuss what their campus research found, the implications for prevention, and what campus preventionists and others on campuses can do to go beyond education to create protective environments for students.
