Go2K: Fostering Sexual Agency & Consent Culture Among College Students (TCDC Event)

Sexual consent policies and students’ actual lived experiences are not aligned. The (U.S.) statistic indicating one in five women collegians will experience sexual assault during study has already stagnated for over 60 years (Adams-Curtis & Gordon, 2004; Muelenhard et al., 2017)—despite countless studies and interventions intended to end it—is indicative of a power structure maintaining sexual violence as common and normal within and beyond academic and co-curricular institutional spaces. The causes and effects of sexual coercion and assault are multidimensional, as are the thinking and action required for transformation. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of a novel research program focused on sexual consent communication and negotiation among college students. We will share findings and implications from research interviews with Cisgender, Queer, and Kinky students of various racial and ethnic identities. Finally, implications for programs, policies, and practices will be discussed. ^{Source: Go2Knowledge}
