Collaborating for Change is a must read for students, academics, and staff working to eradicate gender-based violence in higher education. Editors Marine (Merrimack College) and Lewis (Northumbria Univ., UK) bring together a host of international contributors to detail research and best practices from the US, Canada, Europe, and India, where dedicated professionals work alongside students to address gender-based violence on their campuses and beyond. Divided into three sections, chapters focus on different methods of feminist activism to highlight and transform campus rape culture and collaborative efforts to challenge sexual violence and institutional resistance to change. This collection is a great mix of purely academic research and praxis. As the codirector of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Gender Based Violence at the University of Delaware, this reviewer found it amazingly useful.Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels.
