A case study on finding grounds for how to know and understand, how to act on that (partial) knowledge, but also on paradoxes involved and obstructions posed: The complexities of sexual harassment complaints from 2021 until 2023 at an arts academy

In this article, I am exploring the complexities and paradoxes of institutional processes in Academia that have been put in place in order to deal with (sexual) harassment complaints within the context of feminist epistemologies and relational ethics. The goal to repair institutional culture burdened with various forms of implicit and explicit abuse and emotional manipulation, but also reliant on particularly emotionally dense ways of relating amongst students and teachers at an Arts Academy appears to be rather less straightforward than one might have hoped.
