Abstract
The contemporary politics of sexual harassment on university campuses in the U.K. and the U.S. is considered in the light of “political correctness” debates. Threats to natural justice are discussed in relation to the different assumptions concerning men's and women's subjectivity in a representative university sexual harassment policy document. An alternative analysis in terms of multiple, non-unitary gendered subjectivities, taking into account unconscious intersubjective dynamics, is illustrated through a case example. The political implications of this analysis are discussed.
