In 1995 I created a webpage with information on sexual harassment
as a supplement to a course on gender and communication. The webpage
became popular, and I have been updating it regularly. Since 1995
a great many changes have taken place in the general understanding
of sexual harassment and in the information available on the internet.
There is now a greater understanding about the extent and impact
of sexual harassment in schools as well as in the workplace. Businesses
take the issue seriously and many provide training for employees.
Many commercial services have begun to offer training for managers
and employees. The internet is plastered with commercial websites
offering information, products, and services.
At the same time, each year many people first become aware of
sexual harassment when they or their children are harassed in
the workplace or in school. There still seems to be a need for
general information about sexual harassment. Hence, I have decided
to maintain this webpage as an outreach activity of my scholarly
work in communication. However, readers of this webpage should
be aware that I am not an expert on issues of sexual harassment.
My expertise lies in the discipline of speech communication. I
have gathered information about sexual harassment from experts
to post to this webpage. I have copyright permission from all
authors whose work appears in these pages to post such information.
To the best of my knowledge and belief, information on this webpage
is accurate and up-to-date. However, I am unqualified to answer
legal questions about specific cases or to offer any advice on
the topic of sexual harassment.
My goal is to provide a selection of documents and resources that
allows readers to explore the concepts associated with sexual
harassment from a variety of perspectives. I hope that information
provided to readers will help them to learn more than the legal
definition of sexual harassment and to become more sensitive and
effective communicators at work and in their personal lifes.
