AI Article Synopsis
- Current sexual violence prevention efforts on U.S. college campuses mainly focus on individual and interpersonal strategies, while community-level interventions remain limited.
- A citizen science model has been developed to engage college students in data collection about their campus environments, helping them identify factors that contribute to sexual violence risk.
- The model empowers students to analyze their data and develop community-level solutions, with findings from a pilot study providing insights and recommendations for future research.
Article Abstract
Currently, the most successful prevention interventions against sexual violence (SV) on United States college campuses target modifications at the individual and interpersonal levels. Community-level interventions have been under-developed for college campuses. To address this gap, we employ a citizen science model for understanding campus community factors affecting SV risk. The model, called , starts by engaging groups of college students to collect data in their own communities, identifying factors they view as increasing the risk of SV. In facilitated meetings, participants then review and analyze their collective data and use it to generate actionable community-level solutions and advocate for them with local decision-makers. We share findings from a first-generation study of the model applied to SV prevention on one college campus, and include recommendations for further research.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the experiences of Asian American female sexual minority (AAFSM) college students in Midwestern U.S. universities, focusing on how race, gender, and sexual orientation intersect.
- Findings reveal that these students face intersectional objectifications and internalize racism, sexism, and heterosexism to fit in, which reinforces these biases in society.
- The research highlights complex forms of discrimination referred to as intersectional post-racism-(hetero)sexism and provides recommendations for creating more inclusive educational environments for AAFSM students.
