The contributors in this collection connect their experiences of sexual violence to their research and work within the academy as well as their lives outside of it. Contributors analyze the events surrounding their experiences with sexual violence as well as the cultural, social, and political effects. Their analyses are located within discussions of recent cultural events and the larger contexts of race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, sexuality, region, and nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaura Gray-Rosendale's collection, Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy, offers an extraordinary range of accessible and personal essays told from across the academy. The authors bravely share their stories while also providing scholarly analysis of how these experiences altered their professional futures and offering insight about what happens when such experiences collide with the academy at various levels. This book will be a wonderful resource for professors teaching on Title IX and Me Too related topics. -- Donna Freitas, author of Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention\u003cbr\u003eLaura Gray-Rosendale has introduced and assembled a vibrant and eloquent collection of essays further animating the diverse and devastating disclosures of the Me Too Movement, specifically in academic settings. Gray-Rosendale and her contributors are each survivors. Distinguished by elegance in writing, Gray-Rosendale’s work combines the personal and the political, the experiential and the analytic. The result compels a new and deeper understanding of sexual violence against women, and how this violence is often also intertwined with racism and\/or homophobia. Likewise, the limits of Title IX enforcement, and legal recourse are thrown into sharp relief. We feel ourselves weeping at the suffering caused by the violence, some of it casual and thoughtless, some of it vicious, and all of it revealing the hatred of women at its base. -- Bettina Aptheker, University of California, Santa Cruz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Seeing Through the Lens of Troublesome Tropes: Refusing to See Brown and Black Women as Victims of Sexual Violence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelinda Mills\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: My Grandfather is Dying, Kavanaugh Just Got Appointed Supreme Court Justice, and I Should Probably Not Tell You These Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAri Burford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: A Revisionist History of Loving Men: Exploring Consent and Sexual Violence in Romantic Relationships\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLena Ziegler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: “I Don’t Know What’s Real and What’s Not”: How Journaling Helped Me Cope with Trauma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHélène Bigras-Dutrisac \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Jailbait: At the Intersection of Teenage Desire and Statutory Rape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarissa Korbel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Does Any Woman Have Just One Survivor Story?
