Description:

This course introduces students to the roots of gender-based violence, the political and cultural structures that perpetuate it, and explores how this violence might be brought to an end. Students will investigate the local and global impact of violence; how gendered violence intersects with race, class, sexuality, age, physical ability and the oppressions that are linked to these identities; and strategies for addressing gender-based violence. The overlap between gender-based violence and child abuse and neglect will be addressed under each topic. As part of the class, students will complete a 45-hour advocacy training (plus 15 hours of volunteer advocacy work) offered in partnership with the Women's Resource Center of Winona. Course time will be divided between 2 credits of lab and 2 credits of theory. Prerequisites: CAST 301 or consent of instructor. Offered every fall semester.
