WGST 361 - Seminar in Gender Violence and Women’s Resistance4 credits
The goal of this course is to integrate the theory, research and practice of women’s resistance to gender violence. Although we will focus on psychological and feminist perspectives on resistance to gender violence, we will also incorporate theory and research from sociology, public health and policy, and law, and explore the cultural assumptions that contirbute to the gender violence. In addition, a comprehensive self defense program, IMPACT Basics (www.prepareinc.com) allows for reflection on the theories and research in the context of direct experience with resistance. IMPACT is a comprehensive personal safety program, and includes physical, verbal, and psychological skills and strategies. Techniques are taught in the context of realistic scenarios. Furthermore, the use of trained instructors in full padding allows for the learning and practicing of full contact, full force physical defense skills. Cross-listed with PSYC 361 Offering in Fall in alternate years Pre-req: PSCI 101 or WGST 101 and permission of instructor CLA-Breadth/Social Science
