This book represents the first comprehensive resource manual for understanding and preventing sexual harassment in the academic community and in the workplace.

In addition, the authors have compiled bibliographies, audio-visual material, and pedagogical techniques for dealing with sexual harassment in the academy and in the workplace, as well as information and workshop techniques to facilitate training programs.
