Research Blog #7: Your Case

I am exploring Emma Sulkowicz's sexual assault case which took place at Columbia University and ensued in a mattress performance art protest. This case will act as a prime example for the issue of consent that exists in sexual violence at American universities. It will also demonstrate the effects rape culture and hookup culture may have had on this particular case as well as the sexual violence that occurs daily, and will also act as an example of the poor and/or insufficient manner in which universities handle sexual assault cases.
