Introduction

The introduction presents the circumstances that led to the author’s development of the book. Explaining that millennial students had expressed skepticism that adult researchers could understand the dynamics of hookup culture, Beste constructed an assignment in which undergraduates became ethnographers analyzing college party culture. The author describes the methodology of her qualitative research and explains the book’s three divisions: part I explores students’ descriptions and perspectives, and finds that most undergraduate ethnographers are privately dissatisfied with college hookup culture; part II examines students’ reflections on Johann Metz’s account of full humanity within the context of party culture; part III envisions how campus communities can create a sexually just culture in which sexual disrespect and violence is no longer tolerated and all persons are treated as ends in themselves.
