ABSTRACT

As universities face unprecedented pressure to respond to sexual violence, this article critically analyses how they engage with intersectionality in their responses. Based on research in the Canadian province of Ontario, I demonstrate that universities’ commitments to intersectionality often fail to translate into practice. This failure results in anti-violence measures that do not address how systems of oppression shape vulnerability and access to support, or how the university is implicated in and constituted through these systems. When commitments to intersectionality are accepted at face value, they enable the university to brand their anti-violence measures as progressive and inclusive without necessarily addressing how sexual violence is produced and sustained through existing institutional power arrangements. As such, rather than celebrating universities for merely referencing intersectionality, I conclude that these commitments must be used to hold them accountable to the transformative work required to eradicate sexual violence on campus.

“还不够接近:”性暴力、交叉性和新自由主义大学

摘要

由于大学在应对性暴力方面面临着前所未有的压力,本文批判性地分析了他们如何在应对过程中与交叉性互动。根据加拿大安大略省的研究,我证明大学对交叉性的承诺往往无法转化为实践。这种失败导致反暴力措施没有解决压迫系统如何塑造脆弱性和获得支持的方式,或者大学如何参与这些系统并通过这些系统构成。当对交叉性的承诺以表面价值被接受时,它们使大学能够将其反暴力措施标记为进步和包容性,而不必解决性暴力是如何通过现有的机构权力安排产生和维持的。因此,
