Rethinking Regular Migration Pathways
Workplace Incivility, Sexual Harassment, and University Employee Job Outcomes
This study investigates the compounding impact of incivility and sexual harassment on job outcomes among 2,870 women and transgender, genderqueer, and nonbinary employees at a multi-campus university. Analyses produced three factors: incivility , gender harassment , and sexualized harassment . Nearly 90% of participants experienced any mistreatment. Employees with a disability and in a supervisory position were at greater risk of mistreatment. Mi…
Individual, Interpersonal, and Contextual
Background: Bystander intervention (BI) is a promising technique to reduce problematic alcohol use (PAU) and its consequences among college students. However, to effectively apply BI principles to PAU, it is essential to understand barriers and facilitators that influence whether an individual decides to intervene in PAU situations. Objectives: The purpose of this research is to identify barriers and facilitators to BI for PAU among college stude…
Insect collecting with K-12 aged students
Insects have long been integral to youth science education both in K-12 classrooms and in informal learning contexts due to their diversity, accessibility, and ecological importance. Collecting and studying insects helps students develop key scientific skills such as observation, classification, and inquiry. However, with the rise of conservation movements and ethical considerations regarding animal rights, the practice of insect collecting has c…
Developing a Campus Climate Survey for Faculty and Staff
I Don’t Want to Make Myself Look Like a Trouble-Maker”
This study shares findings of interviews with 25 faculty and staff from across the United States on their perspective on bystander intervention (BI) during instances of sexual harassment (SH) within academia. Factors that hindered BI included fears of retaliation, power dynamics, and perceived impacts on safety and career advancement. Facilitators of action included knowledge of SH and prior victimization; positionality and social identity were d…
Centering Intersectionality in Bystander Intervention
She Should be Smart Enough To Know, Hey, These Things Can Happen”
Sexual aggression (SA) by men toward women, including harassment and unwanted sexual touching, is ubiquitous in drinking venues. Focus groups with 38 male volunteers aged 19-26 were used to articulate men’s perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs (PABs) related to SA in drinking venues for future development of a comprehensive questionnaire. Three cross-cutting themes relevant to prevention emerged from discussions structured using a 6-dimensional th…
Development of the Services, Policies and Programs Audit Tool to Address Campus Sexual Violence
Evidence suggests that resources to address campus sexual violence (CSV) are inconsistently offered across institutions of higher education (IHE), and thus there is a need for campuses to continually assess their provision of resources and services to improve the climate and well-being of students. Conducting a periodical scan of resources provided is one way for IHE to assess their adherence to best practices. The current study describes the dev…
The presence, action, and influence of bystanders who witness sexual harassment against medical students
Purpose Sexual harassment (SH) is a widespread problem in academia, with a disproportionate impact on female medical students and those who experience marginalization via multiple systems of oppression (e.g. racism, heterosexism). Bystander intervention education is a potential approach which frames violence as a community issue where all members have a role to play in response and prevention. This study assessed the presence and influence of bys…
Engaging Campuses in Meaningful Change Efforts to Address Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct
Although recent decades have been marked by tremendous strides in addressing relationship violence and sexual misconduct at institutions of higher education across the country, there still exists a range of degree and meaningfulness of these changes. A key question raised by Campbell et al. in the discussion of the model developed at Michigan State University (MSU) is how to align institutional commitment with actions, as well as engage in “meani…
Perceptions of Anticipated Peer Support for Survivors of Sexual Violence Among Students with Minoritized Identities
Peers' attitudes toward survivors of sexual violence can impact their willingness to disclose. Students with minoritized identities may perceive and experience their campus environments as less supportive than peers with privileged identities. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of anticipated peer support for sexual violence survivors, using a cross-sectional study of 2,727 students. Linear regression modeling showed significant…
Bystander Intervention for the Prevention of Campus Sexual Violence
This cross-sectional study examined students' (Campus 1, n = 1,153; Campus 2, n = 1,113) experiences with four situations of direct confrontation of those at risk for sexual assault perpetration. The most reported opportunity was to confront those making false statements about sexual assault; many students reported more than one opportunity to intervene in the past year. Bystanders intervened most of the time across the four situations examined i…
How Helpful Is Bystander Intervention? Perspectives of Dating and Sexual Violence Survivors
While bystander intervention education has demonstrated promise as a strategy to reduce dating and sexual violence (DSV) on campus, little is known about whether survivors on whose behalf the interventions take place find these helpful. This paper uses qualitative, in-depth interviews with 33 DSV survivors to explore their perspectives on bystander intervention. Results indicate that while some interventions were identified as helpful, especially…
Sexual Violence Among Sorority Women
The purpose of this study was to examine and compare sexual violence (SV) victimization among sorority women and unaffiliated counterparts. Results showed sorority women were more likely than unaffiliated women to report experiencing some types of SV, consuming alcohol prior to victimization, and to identify their perpetrator as a hookup/casual partner. More women, regardless of affiliation, informally disclosed their victimization compared to fo…
Comprehensive Prevention of Campus Sexual Violence
There are calls for sexual violence prevention to be more comprehensive and align with a socio-ecological approach. However, there is lack of models with specificity on how to engage additional stakeholders. Whole School Approach (WSA) frameworks have been used to address health promotion and bullying prevention and can be a useful model for guiding campus sexual violence prevention work. WSA models situate violence as a community issue and one w…
Commuter Students’ Readiness to Help in Incidents of Campus Sexual Violence
The present study examines commuter students' readiness to help in incidents of sexual violence. Participants included 1,366 students, the majority of whom (79%) were commuters. Structural equation modeling was used to examine commuter status on readiness to help in incidents of sexual violence and the effect of awareness of sexual violence resources and sense of community on readiness to help. The results demonstrate that commuter students are l…
Feasibility and Acceptability of Engaging Significant Adults in Youth Sexual and Relationship Violence Prevention Work
Relationship and sexual violence (RSV) disproportionately affect youth in immigrant and other marginalized communities yet few prevention initiatives are truly grounded in their experiences. The current study represents a pilot implementation evaluation of youth-led workshops to engage significant adults (parents, grandparents, aunts, adult siblings, community leaders) as RSV prevention partners in diverse communities in a large urban area. The c…
How does student activism drive cultural campus change in the UK and US regarding sexual violence on campus
Using policy frameworks and author expertise to identify relevant literature, four academics and two student-activist-authors, critically review literature upon student activist responses to sexual violence on campus. We conclude, student activism is pivotal to campus cultural change. In the UK, we review how student activism challenges outdated policy; in the US, how this has elevated the issue to national policy agendas. We apply theoretical fr…
Death and Migration
In migration and refugee studies, migrant deaths have frequently been closely linked to contemporary forms of border and migration governance. Migrant deaths at sea have also played a central role in shaping policy and public responses to Europe’s “crisis.” Yet relatively little scholarly work has analyzed migrants’ personal experiences related to death and the impact of these experiences on their mobility. Drawing on 500 semi-structured intervie…
Reconceptualising early language development
This article critically interrogates the model of language that underpins early years policy and pedagogy. Our arguments emerge from an ethnographic study involving 2-year-olds attending a day care centre that had begun to hold a substantial proportion of its sessions outdoors. The resultant shift in pedagogy coincided with changes in the children’s speaking and listening practices. We take these changes as a starting point for a reconceptualisat…
Matching anonymous participants in longitudinal research on sensitive topics
Correlates of Incoming Male College Students’ Proclivity to Perpetrate Sexual Assault
This study examined incoming male college students' proclivity to perpetrate sexual assault at a large public university in the Northeast ( n = 1,619). Overall, self-reported proclivity to perpetrate was low (between 20-26%). Students' perception that a peer would intervene as a bystander was negatively associated with proclivity, while acceptance of certain rape myths was positively associated with proclivity. Students who intended to join a fra…
Men’s perspectives on risk identification, taking responsibility, and prosocial intervention
Campus initiatives to prevent sexual violence by engaging students as prosocial bystanders are increasingly widespread in the United States. Despite the original articulation of the bystander intervention model as one with potential to serve as primary prevention of sexual violence, there has been little investigation into how students’ bystander experiences align with a primary prevention framework. The purpose of this qualitative study is to ex…
Sexual Assault Victimization and Perceptions of University Climate Among Bisexual Women
Sexual minority women are more likely to experience campus sexual assault than their heterosexual peers, and previous research suggests that bisexual women are especially at risk. The purpose of this study was to compare sexual assault victimization rates and perceptions of the campus climate around sexual assault among bisexual, gay/lesbian, and heterosexual women. Surveys were administered to 6,072 university women. Results indicate that bisexu…
The evolving (re)categorisations of refugees throughout the “refugee/migrant crisis”
The UK media's reporting of events in 2015 contained constantly evolving categorisations of people attempting to reach Europe and the UK, each with different implications for their treatment. A discourse analysis of UK media outputs charts the development of the terminology used to present the crisis and those people involved. First, “Mediterranean migrant crisis” was used to present those involved as “migrants” to be prevented from reaching Euro…
An Updated Measure for Assessing Subtle Rape Myths
Social workers responsible for developing rape prevention programs on college campuses must have valid evaluation instruments. This article presents the challenges encountered by the authors when they attempted to keep rape myth measures relevant to student populations by updating the language to reflect the subtleties involved with rape myths. The development of a modified version of the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale is described. Focus gr…
Navigating the Central Mediterranean in a Time of ‘Crisis’
From 2014 to the end of 2016, over 450,000 people crossed from North Africa towards Italy via the Central Mediterranean route. The number of people recorded as dead or missing in the same stretch of water steadily increased too. Crisis-talk in the region led to renewed efforts by the European Union and its Member States to govern and control migration to and across the Central Mediterranean. Against this backdrop, this article draws upon over 200…
Understanding Community-Specific Rape Myths
Using multiple measurement methods offers an opportunity to gain culturally specific information about rape myths. This study focuses on the subculture of student athletes and uses a survey, focus groups, and individual interviews to explore the meaning and role of rape myths. Although the survey indicates a low acceptance of rape myths, this finding is contradicted by the results of the focus groups and individual interviews. Subtle, yet pervasi…

The Bystander Approach
Bystander intervention is described as a promising approach for social workers engaged with groups labeled "at risk" for perpetrating sexual violence. An exploratory study was conducted with one at-risk group, student-athletes, to determine their willingness to intervene as bystanders in situations involving sexual violence. A survey was administered to 205 participants, focus groups held with nine teams, and individual interviews conducted with …

Being in a Room with Like-Minded Men”
The bystander approach suggests that individuals can intervene to interrupt situations leading to violence and has previously been used in sexual assault prevention. This article applies the bystander approach to interpersonal violence. An exploratory study was conducted to assess a workshop designed to prevent intimate partner violence that utilized the bystander approach with male participants. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to …
Predicting Bystander Behavior to Prevent Sexual Assault on College Campuses
Bystander intervention has been increasingly applied to prevent sexual violence on college campuses. Its underlying theory assumes unidirectional relationships between variables, predicting that bystander behaviors (i.e., actions taken to intervene in sexual violence situations) will be influenced by bystander intentions (BI; i.e., likelihood to intervene in the future), which in turn will be affected by bystander efficacy (BE; i.e., confidence t…
Exploring the Challenges Faced by Latinas Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
This article explores the help-seeking challenges faced by a community sample of 25 Latina intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors. We include the experiences of Latinas who sought help from IPV services and those who did not. Additionally, we utilize an ecological framework to highlight the barriers that are present at multiple levels for Latinas who seek assistance, and we include their recommendations for increasing access. The information p…

The politics of immigration during an economic crisis
Since 2008, dramatic economic crises have brought falling GDP, rapidly rising unemployment and pressure on government to limit public spending to Spain and Italy. These are two countries with similar experiences of migration but quite different politics of immigration over the past two decades, with public order and security concerns coming to the fore in Italy during the 1990s and 2000s, whilst there was a general avoidance of the issue in Spain…
Professional Efficacy and Working With Victims of Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault
Violence against women is a pervasive and widespread problem, but the understanding of how to prepare social workers best for working with survivors is inadequate. One area of focus is professional efficacy, which stems from the literature on self-efficacy. This article focuses on the confidence and comfort that social work students have in working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and identifies the factors that affect profe…
A magnificent atmosphere? Romanian immigration in the political debate of Madrid, Spain
Immigration has consistently been one of the most controversial political topics in many European countries over recent years. Much research has consequently focused on highlighting and describing negative views of immigrants which dominate political debate. This has been particularly the case in studies of Spain. Yet such studies rarely examine positive views of immigration or explain the dominance of some views over others. This article offers …

Assessing the Impact of European Union Citizenship
The article uses analysis of the legal status of Romanian nationals in Italy, where they constitute the largest immigrant population, to explore the question of the extent to which the formal institution of European Union citizenship has superseded national conceptions of citizenship. It is argued that, although EU citizenship has offered an opportunity for market-oriented rights, inclusion in the labour market and rights of residence, it is nati…
Scale for the Identification of Acquaintance Rape Attitudes
Within the context of intimate interpersonal relationships, gender-based violence has a significant impact on the social-emotional functioning and development of women. Our ability to determine the effectiveness of our efforts to reduce sexual violence is linked to our ability to assess those attitudes that condone sexual violence. This study examined the validity of college students' responses to the Scale for the Identification of Acquaintance …

A Review of Rape in the Social Work Literature
This article reports on a content analysis of the social work research literature to assess the level of attention that the profession has paid to the rape of adults. The analysis of 66 social work articles published between 1975 and 2008 revealed that rape was a primary focus in about one third of the articles. However, 94% of the articles connected rape with another issue that was central to the profession (such as domestic violence or mental h…
