Preventing Sexual Violence in Elite UK Universities
Sexual violence is a widespread, yet poorly addressed, issue in UK universities, affecting a significant proportion of students—especially women and non-binary people. Grounded in feminist theory and student voices, Preventing Sexual Violence in Elite UK Universities explores how universities can better respond through prevention and education.
Drawing on a rich dataset of research in elite universities, it examines the everyday realities of sexual violence—from banter and groping to troubling attitudes toward consent—and critiques dominant behaviours like lad culture. Instead, it proposes a new model rooted in sexual ethics, citizenship and hybrid masculinities, offering practical, policy-relevant insights for creating safer university communities.
