Rape Culture 101: Programming Change by Becker and Dionne examines cultural nuances we often fail to grasp when trying to identify appropriate action to decrease sexual violence on college campuses as well as in our society. Each chapter identifies different pervasive, culturally held opinions, attitudes, or beliefs and considers potential change needed. Most definitely a text that will stimulate conversation and a new understanding of rape culture.
-Cheryl Roberts, Nursing Instructor, Fort Kent, Maine
This book could not come out at a better time with the #metoo movement becoming mainstream. Now the silence can be broken. The collection explores many and diverse themes to expose rape culture across the globe.
-Marie Doerner, Educator in the field of disabilities.
