Queering Consent: Design And Sexual Consent Messaging, Avery C. Edenfield
Queering Consent: Design And Sexual Consent Messaging, Avery C. Edenfield
English Faculty Publications
For decades, sexual violence prevention and sexual consent have been a recurrent topic on college campuses and in popular media, most recently because of the success of the #MeToo movement. As a result, institutions are deeply invested in communicating consent information. This article problematizes those institutional attempts to teach consent by comparing them to an alternative grounded in queer politics. This alternative information may provide a useful path to redesigning consent information by destabilizing categories of gender, sexuality, and even consent itself.
