Specifically, the course examines violence against women that is differentially racialized, class- based and gendered, as well as how such acts of violence and violation shape a woman’s sense of identity. Topics include sexual violence, intimate partner violence, media portrayal of violence against women, women street crime offenders and women in prison. (CMCL; CSOC; CWRT)
