Campus Life

Discipleship & Christian Education

“This is a thoughtful, justice-oriented approach to thinking about some of the most difficult topics and challenges on college campuses today, as well as the obligations Christian colleges have to the world, their faculty and staff, and most of all, the students who attend them. A thorough and invaluable resource.”

Speaking of Rape

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In this powerfully argued and beautifully written book, Danielle Tumminio Hansen highlights a conundrum that all survivors of sexual misconduct face--how to find the words to speak the unspeakable, to come up with the exact, right phrasing to convince others to believe something that is already in doubt, and within a society that is constantly changing the relevant terms and definitions. Through the lens of linguistics, story, narrative, and even notions of plot, Hansen does what her book title so boldly claims--she speaks of rape in order to point us to the ongoing paradoxes in which victim-survivors continually find themselves as they try to process what they've lived, and find the right words to tell their stories. Tumminio Hansen emerges as an important new voice on this subject and her argument, an essential contribution to scholarly conversation about sexual misconduct and, yes, rape--one we must all be willing to hear.”
