SEXUAL & RELATIONSHIP VIOLENCE RESEARCH & ACTIVISM

3 credits.

Examine sexual and relationship violence and how they intersect with various aspects of identity (race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, poverty, etc.) in the general community as well as within particular populations (college, military, incarcerated) with a heavy focus on college populations (some of the applied parts of the course will focus here). Learn about power and oppression, as well as ways that both research and practice in these arenas have been marginalized and underfunded. Additional focus on community and campus responses to sexual and relationship violence through a series of speakers as well as about anti-violence activism through course activities and group projects.
