Decolonising Sexual Gender Based Violence

项目摘要

Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) within Higher Education (HE) is a global problem that requires urgent attention. Keeping ideas of prevention and change of culture at its core, the proposed research will decolonise understandings of SGBV in HE by focusing on lessons from institutional practices and feminist struggles in the Global South. It will present new, inclusive and survivor-centred understandings of SGBV in HE through a programme of research that is empirically grounded, methodologically innovative and theoretically informed. This research will develop an intersectional and interdisciplinary approach in all three levels of theory, policy and practice for addressing a critical contemporary challenge. Lack of reporting mechanisms and policy frameworks related to SGBV, larger cultures of sexism, racism and homophobia leading to victim blaming, 'slut shaming' and mistrust of survivors, and absence of support structures are some of the issues that structure violence within HE. HE is not commonly recognised as a site of violence nor does it recognise itself as an agent of oppression. Its hierarchical nature gives rise to sometimes visible and other times hidden power dynamics which oppress certain minority bodies while privileging others. Hence, rethinking SGBV within HE not only requires an acknowledgement of these power dynamics and resultant violence, but a complete overhaul in the way theory, policy and practices are imagined in these contexts. The important issues pertaining to SGBV in HE are: (i) the lack of data on the prevalence and nature of existing violence and available support mechanisms, (ii) lack of focus on empirical research from the global South, (iii) lack of knowledge about the entwinement of structural violence with the process of establishment, continuance and transformation of HE institutions, (iv) the lack of knowledge exchange between institutions, academics and policy makers, with almost a negligible transfer of knowledge between HE institutions in different countries. Using five country-specific case studies (South Africa, Brazil, Nigeria, Chile and Australia) that are comparative in their histories of colonial and imperial legacies, and display interesting intersections of institutional repression and collective action today, this research aims to address the aforementioned gaps in knowledge, bringing together theories and methodologies from feminist institutionalism, gender studies and public health. These four issues require prolonged research, involving a broad range of disciplines. Thus, the FLF is the best pathway for this study, given its interdisciplinary nature combined with its lengthy duration. This ambitious and challenging research project will not only explore new agendas in all three disciplines but also bridge the gap in theory and policy in the area of SGBV in HE.

高等教育中的性暴力和基于性别的暴力是一个全球性的问题，需要迫切关注。保持思想的预防和文化的变化在其核心，拟议的研究将非殖民化的理解性暴力和基于性别的暴力在高等教育的重点是从体制的做法和女权主义斗争在全球南部的教训。它将通过一个以经验为基础、方法创新和理论知情的研究方案，在高等教育中提出对性暴力和基于性别的暴力的新的、包容性的和以幸存者为中心的理解。这项研究将在理论，政策和实践的所有三个层面制定一个交叉和跨学科的方法，以应对当代的关键挑战。缺乏与性暴力和基于性别的暴力有关的报告机制和政策框架，性别歧视、种族主义和仇视同性恋的大文化导致对受害者的指责、“荡妇羞辱”和对幸存者的不信任，以及缺乏支持结构，这些都是造成高等教育中暴力行为的一些问题。他通常不被认为是暴力的场所，也不认为自己是压迫的代理人。它的等级性质导致有时可见有时隐藏的权力动态，压迫某些少数群体，同时压迫其他群体。因此，在高等教育中重新思考性暴力和基于性别的暴力不仅需要承认这些权力动态和由此产生的暴力，而且需要对在这些背景下想象的理论、政策和实践进行全面改革。高等教育中与性暴力和基于性别的暴力有关的重要问题是：（一）缺乏关于现有暴力行为的普遍性和性质以及现有支助机制的数据，（二）缺乏对全球南方经验研究的重视，（三）缺乏对结构性暴力与高等教育机构的建立、持续和转型过程之间的联系的了解，（四）机构之间缺乏知识交流，在这方面，高等教育机构与学术界和政策制定者之间的知识转移几乎微不足道。本研究利用五个具体国家的案例研究（南非、巴西、尼日利亚、智利和澳大利亚），比较其殖民和帝国遗产的历史，并展示当今体制压制和集体行动的有趣交叉点，旨在解决上述知识差距，汇集女权主义制度主义、性别研究和公共卫生的理论和方法。这四个问题需要长期研究，涉及广泛的学科。因此，FLF是这项研究的最佳途径，因为它具有跨学科的性质，而且持续时间很长。这一雄心勃勃和具有挑战性的研究项目不仅将探索所有三个学科的新议程，而且还将弥合高等教育中性暴力和基于性别的暴力领域的理论和政策差距。
