Kate Lockwood Harris is Assistant Professor of Organizational Communication at University of Minnesota. Her research on the relationship between violence and communication appears in fourteen different journals and several edited books. Dr. Harris has won accolades from national and international academic societies for her scholarship on organizational responses to sexual assault, and she consults with organizations to develop violence prevention programs.

In Beyond the Rapist, Kate Lockwood Harris demonstrates how universities and colleges fighting against sexual violence on their campuses may simply be reproducing that violence in other forms. She uses feminist new materialist theory to analyze how a particular college deals with rape and other sexual assaults while complying with federal laws. Ultimately, she shows why universities should broaden their concern beyond individual perpetrators to organizational processes.
