Critical Slut Theory

As I’ve been thinking heavily about what I want to write my dissertation on (thinking of a solid topic is the first part of the grueling dissertation process) and I’ve been given tons of the obvious tips; write about something not discussed in the field, write about something you can’t stop thinking about, write about …

Nobody Knows Josi? Well, You Should.

At one point in time, sexual assault (while a serious issue) was only talked about really on college campuses. You'd hear occasionally from media about how workers at a job facility had been assaulted, but other than that...well, r*ape was a college issue.
