WLRN's Danielle Whitaker recently spoke with Donna Freitas, author of the newly released novel, Consent: A Memoir of Unwanted Attention, which tells the story of a young woman who was stalked in an unconventional way by her mentor.
Freitas is a writer and scholar who has conducted extensive research on students, consent, and sex on college campuses. She has spoken at nearly 200 colleges and universities about her research and has been published in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and The Washington Post. Her latest book offers a unique perspective on the nature of stalking and the type of "unwanted attention" that can often be difficult to recognize or define.
This interview explores the narrative of Consent, its background, and what inspired Freitas to come forward and share her traumatic story after all these years.
