Teaching about Sexual Violence in Higher Education: Moving from Concern to Conscious Resistance

[...] sexual violence is understood to be a complex set of cultural practices used to enforce and maintain not only sexism but multiple forms of oppression. [...] the traumas produced by that violence provide a nexus from which to explore how oppressions operate to divide women (and men) across racial and class lines. 2 In these discussions feminism is represented as an old set of politics rather than an ongoing political project. Since feminism has presumably achieved its goals, it is no longer needed in current discussions of women's lives.
