隐形的宵禁:性侵忧虑和女大学生的校园空间使用

The Invisible Curfew: Fear of Sexual Assault and College Women's Use of Space on Campus

对犯罪受害的忧虑及采取防范措施是一种日常性的体验,而性侵的阴影使得这种忧虑心理在女性身上更为显著。本研究通过深度访谈发现,在新近建成的低密度大学校园中,女生的性侵忧虑普遍存在,并且忧虑心理呈现出一定的时空维度;为忧虑所困扰的女生采取很多措施来应对,但这些措施显然制约了她们的个人成长,构成了实现教育性别平等的一个障碍。研究最后指出,解决这一问题的关键在于适度多元化校园空间的使用功能,而全面解决这一问题则需要更深刻的社会学的想象力。

Fear of assaults and taking measures to avoid victimization has been a common daily experience of modem life. Due to the concerns about sexual assault, women have usually shown a higher level of fear. Through in-depth interviews, this study reveals that women＇s fear in a newly built low-density campus is prevalent and clearly has both temporal and spatial dimensions. College women students who have to work out their strategies to deal with their fear, are often experiencing constraint in their personal development, which poses a barrier to achieving gender equality in higher education. In the end, the study argues that to address this issue requires ways to appropriately diversify and multiply the usages of the campus and a holistic solution based on a more innovative sociological analysis.
