In the midst of unprecedented attention to gender based violence
(GBV), prompted in part by the #MeToo movement, _Collaborating for
Change: Transforming Cultures to End Gender-Based Violence in Higher
Education_ provides a groundbreaking analysis of higher education
culture and how it can be transformed to eradicate GBV. This book
builds on existing scholarship and practice, offering unique
reflections from faculty, staff, and students about potential avenues
for change that go beyond programs and policies. It recognizes the
important work achieved to date on this topic but argues that
transformation of cultures, rather than reform of practices, is now
required. Starting from the premise that cultural change must be
embedded in groups of people working together, the contributors to the
book offer insights into what makes for constructive, effective
collaborations between activists in universities and the wider
community, as well as with university leaders, managers, and
policy-makers. The volume is an interdisciplinary, international
account/analysis of attempts to transform higher education cultures in
an attempt to eradicate GBV. The chapters, contributed by leading
scholars and practitioners in the field, span the experiences of GBV
in Canada, the United States, Scotland, England, France, and India.
_Collaborating for Change _reveals the different institutional,
political, and cultural contexts in which activists, scholars, and
practitioners endeavor to eradicate GBV and provides insights for
others engaged in this work around the globe. The book argues that
nothing short of a transformation is required to make higher education
safe for all.
