Sexual Citizens: on Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus

The fear of campus sexual assault has become an inextricable part of the college experience. Research has shown that by the time they graduate, as many as one in three women and almost one in six men will have been sexually assaulted. But why is sexual assault such a common feature of college life? And what can be done to prevent it?

On Wednesday May 26, 2021, at 6pm CEST, join a discussion with:

  • Jennifer S. Hirsch, Professor of sociomedical sciences at Columbia University
  • Shamus Khan, Professor of sociology and American studies at Princeton University, visiting professor at the Sciences Po Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics

on their recent book Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus.

Moderation by Marta Domínguez Folgueras, associate professor in sociology at Centre for Studies in Social Change, and Rébecca Lévy-Guillain, Ph.D. student at the French Institute for Demographic Studies and Sciences Po (CRIS).
