Description

This elective course is designed to provide undergraduate students with the background to understand gender-based violence and the skills necessary to provide advocacy services to survivors. Our story on gender-based violence will include attention to intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, child abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking. This course utilizes a 360-degree framework which recognizes that everything is interconnected and takes into consideration the multiple lenses through which each individual understands gender-based violence from a broad, holistic context. We will also examine gender-based violence utilizing other perspectives including feminist, ecological, and social justice. This course will introduce students to the roots of gender-based violence, the social and cultural context in which it occurs, the mental and physical health impact, justice and restitution frameworks, and will explore approaches to changing those structures in order to reduce or end it. Students will develop the skills to think critically about the local and global impact of gender-based violence, how it intersects with other forms of oppression and to develop an understanding of these issues that will be useful intellectually, personally, and professionally.
