WGST 361 - Seminar in 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 as well as the cultural assumptions that contribute to it. Incorporates theory and research from sociology, public health and policy, and law. 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 through 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. Same as PSYC 361 . Prerequisite: WGST 101 .
