Description
This is an exploration of how sexual harassment came to be defined, what institutional forces and concepts shape our understanding of it and the limitations of the language used when discussing it. The book brings together essays written by feminist scholars and practitioners in the fields of law, literature, the social sciences, history and cultural studies. The contributors' central argument is for an awareness of the social and discursive contexts required to challenge sexual harrassment effectively. They offer insight into current limitations and make practical suggestions for ways forward.

Description
'An innovative and challenging title from feminists in Britain [...] makes a valuable contribution to understanding sexual harassment' Feminist Bookstore News
'Serious and scholarly ... deserves a wide audience' Journal of the Institute of Health Education
'Excellent ... However familiar the subject may seem - or precisely because we all think we know what term 'sexual harassment' means - these discussions open up a series of vital questions, both theoretical and practical. Rethinking Sexual Harassment is a valuable contribution to a debate that continues all around us' Parallax
Sexual harassment continues to stimulate controversy and attract partisan responses. This is an exciting and original exploration of how it came to be defined, what institutional forces and contexts shape our understanding of it. This multidisciplinary study brings together essays from feminist scholars in the fields of law, literature, the social sciences, history and cultural studies.
The contributors' central argument is an awareness of the social and discursive contexts required to challenge sexual harassment effectively. Offering insight into current limitations and making practical suggestions for ways forward, this wide-ranging collection addresses general readers and professionals alike.
