Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of what constitutes sexual harassment—from suggestive remarks to outright threats, from off-color jokes to lewd posters on office walls—is contentious, as is the question of how to address sexual harassment. Do all instances of sexual harassment constitute sex discrimination? Are some instances merely sexual attraction gone wrong? Do social policies aimed at eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace violate freedom of expression or do they make working relationships possible between women and men? In this uncompromising yet respectful debate, two philosophers of widely divergent views present clear arguments and then respond directly to each other's reasoning. LeMonchek argues for a feminist perspective on sexual harassment that is sensitive to the politics of gender. Hajdin contends that this perspective is both morally confusing and legally problematic, and that sexual harassment can be better addressed by traditional moral and legal categories.

Download or read book Bullying and Harassment written by Kathleen Conn and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A student creates a Web site that contains fake obituaries of fellow students. The school suspends him. The parents then sue and win in court. Incidents of bullying, harassment, and threats in schools are growing, but the line between students' rights to expression and the school's rights to protect children and faculty is increasingly blurred. To create effective disciplinary and management polices, educators need to understand the legal ramifications of their actions. Bullying and Harassment: A Legal Guide for Educators provides the practical information that they need to help students while avoiding litigation pitfalls. In language readily understandable to administrators, teachers, and other school personnel, educator and attorney Kathleen Conn examines the various twists and turns of the legal issues, including * The distinction between bullying and teasing; * Civil rights and free speech protection under the U.S. Constitution; * Legal definitions of harassment based on gender, race, religion, and disabilities; * Student threats of violence against schools or classmates; * Internet-enabled forms of bullying and harassment; and * Appropriate guidelines for both short- and long-term responses. Using recent court cases and school events that made major headlines, Conn examines how educators should respond to incidents where the law isn't clear and where different court interpretations seem to apply. With its timely information and analysis, Bullying and Harassment shows how every educator can take a proactive stand to ensure safe schools and communities.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment and Bullying written by Susan Strauss and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying in schools is often discussed, but sexual harassment in schools, and how it differs from bullying is often overlooked. In fact, though, sexual harassment (committed both by fellow students and school personnel) is more common and yet more easily and quickly dismissed by those involved, though its consequences for the victim can be profound. This book provides parents, teachers, school officials, and others with a framework comparing and contrasting sexual harassment and bullying as they relate to the behavior, laws, and impact on children. The author describes the responsibility of the school district and how parents and other adults can navigate the schools' policies, barriers, and responsibilities. She argues that children should not be subjected to bullying OR sexual harassment, that it is the school's responsibility to make the harassment or bullying stop, and that parents and other caring adults often need to be involved and advocate for the child, even against resistance from those in the school system. Throughout the book the author uses examples of actual cases that have made it to the courts and have been precedent setting and cases in which she has been involved as an expert witness or as a consultant. Resources for readers are also provided at the end of the book.
Download or read book Sexual Harassment of Women written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Download or read book Sexual Harassment in the Workplace and Academia written by Diane K. Shrier and published by American Psychiatric Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, sexual harassment went unnoticed or was denied, minimized, or simply ignored. In recent years, however, the topic has moved to the forefront of public awareness, demanding attention as a serious issue in business and professional arenas. In Sexual Harassment in the Workplace and Academia: Psychiatric Issues, 14 experts in the field provide a timely and practical guide to identification, treatment, and advocacy for individuals, particularly women, who have been sexually harassed. Psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners must be well informed about sexual harassment and its psychiatric implications to provide competent and therapeutic care to their patients. This provocative book offers valuable information on sexual harassment issues relevant to the clinician, including physical and emotional effects of harassment, individual and organizational responses to harassment, and characteristics and types of harassers. A semistructured interview for psychiatric assessment of harassment victims and comprehensive information on therapeutic interventions and resources are presented. Also covered are forensic issues, such as the role of the psychiatrist in sexual harassment cases, the litigation process and how to support a patient throughout it, and the potential for misuse and abuse of psychiatry. Special settings and types of harassment for which information is not readily available, including sexual harassment of children and adolescents and harassment in academia and medicine, are discussed. Case vignettes are presented that illustrate the damaging psychological, medical, social, and economic consequences of sexual exploitation and discrimination. By acquiring a fuller understanding of this serious and pervasive problem, practitioners will be able not only to recognize and avoid common clinical pitfalls (for example, inflicting secondary injury by blaming the victim) but also to provide more knowledgeable assessment and effective treatment for all of their patients.
