Abstract

This paper takes lived experience of students who feel they have been sexually harassed to show how sexual harassment is similarly experienced and construed, then how this subjectivity contributes to fear of action to stop the harassment. The stories also demonstrate that, even if action is taken to stop the harassment, the consequences can still be negative and fear inducing. The paper also aims to challenge theories of sexual harassment, arguing that much theory does not adequately explain the complex dynamics of the phenomenon.
