It is widely recognised that the problematisation of a social phenomenon is a political process that both constructs the problem and, in doing so, suggests some possible remedies and occludes others. Based on our sector-wide analysis of policies to address gender-based violence (GBV) in 129 UK universities, we examine how the ‘problem’ of GBV is conceptualised in institutional policies.
