In the last month, a drumbeat of revelations about powerful men in Hollywood and other industries has forced a public reckoning with sexual harassment. Even before the recent flood of accusations, some academic disciplines were known for fostering climates that are hostile to women. Now, many people in higher education are talking about what risk factors make harassment especially pervasive in their chosen fields. Some of them are calling for tougher punishments for people found to have harassed others, too.
The Chronicle is focusing more on sexual harassment in higher education, and we’d like to hear from you. Do you have a story to share? Here are a few ways to contact us:
