A book co-authored by Brandon University sociologist Christopher Schneider has been recognized by a body of peers for its impact within the field.

“Defining Sexual Misconduct: Power, Media, and #MeToo,” co-authored by Stacey Hannem from Wilfred Laurier University, won the Midwest Sociological Society Distinguished Book Award. The award is presented to an original book that contributes significantly to sociological knowledge.

“That, in and of itself, is incredibly humbling that our colleagues or peers gave us that distinction,” said Schneider from Las Vegas. He is at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to promote his new book, “Doing Public Scholarship: A Practical Guide to Media Engagement.”

This is not the first accolade awarded to “Defining Sexual Misconduct.” It was an honourable mention for the 2023 Cooley Award from the Society for the Study of Symbolic Intervention. It was also shortlisted in The Hill Times’ Best Books of 2022.

Last year, Schneider and Hannem were asked for feedback by a Canadian Armed Forces senior staffer on a new military policy that replaced the term “sexual misconduct” with “sexual assault.”
