| Abstract: | In response to public and legislative pressure, Canadian post-secondary institutions (PSIs) have recently established new policies, protocols, and programming to respond to the issue of sexualized violence. This article offers an analysis of how White Feminist expertise is given a place at the tables of PSIs when creating sexualized violence response policies and practices. Based on qualitative interviews with over 40 feminist faculty across what is (colonially known) as Canada, we argue that White Feminist approaches, which are more palatable to university administrators, are prioritized while more transformative approaches to sexualized violence are excluded. By taking account of feminist faculty concerns with how some feminists have aligned themselves with institutional responses, our research calls attention to the harms of sexualized violence responses that dismiss intersectional, anti-carceral, and decolonial analyses of power.
