This book challenges common-sense assumptions about sexual violence on campuses. Through rejecting the discourse-material divide, it recasts violence as communicatively linked to material forces that are intrinsically organizational. As a provocative, insightful text, it provides vital case-based advice for institutions and society. * Linda L. Putnam, Distinguished Research Professor Emerita of Communication, University of California, Santa Barbara * In Beyond the Rapist, Kate Harris Lockwood carefully crafts a feminist new materialist understanding of sexual violence as an accumulation of organizational actions rather than a single act perpetrated by individuals. She brilliantly illuminates how schools frame campus rape as individual acts in ways that obscure the processes of organizational violence that facilitate rape and leave marginalized students more vulnerable to sexual violence. This book makes a significant contribution to the material-discourse debate in feminist theory, and it advances our understanding of the power of institutions to both enable and prevent sexual violence. * Caroline Heldman, Associate Professor of Politics, Occidental College *
