From UConn to Dartmouth to Occidental, Swarthmore, UNC, USC and beyond, there’s been an avalanche of news lately about U.S. campus administrations’ deplorable approaches to rape on campus. UConn’s Professor Heather M. Turcotte and The Feminist Wire’s Monica Casper join Jaclyn to discuss ways to resist the individual narratives and address the structures that allow rape to flourish on and beyond U.S. campuses. Then, we take a listener question about how and when to talk with partners when you have an STD.
