PSYC 361 - Gender Violence and Women’s Resistance

4 credits
Integrates the theory, research and practice of women’s resistance to gender violence. Focuses on psychological and feminist perspectives on resistance to gender violence, incorporating theory and research from sociology, public health and policy, and law, and exploring the cultural assumptions that contribute 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. Pre-requisite: PSYC 101  or WGST 101  and permission of instructor CLA-Breadth/Social Science
