Week 6: Men and Violence

Hey guys,

Thanks again for the great turn out last week, it was really nice to see some new faces in the room so thanks to everyone who invited friends, partners, roomies, etc!  So last week we had a chance to talk about healthy relationships for National Dating Violence Awareness Month and are now going to segway into violence and in particular, gender violence.  This week Travis Annameier from CSU Key Communities is going to join us to help deconstruct the connection between hegemonic masculinity and violence. 

For this week I'm just going to post one video.  It's pretty long but I think that it's some of the most important information that we've heard so far this semester.  If you can only make it through the first 10 - 15 minutes that's ok, but I would highly urge you to make the time for the whole segment. 

The guy's name is Jackson Katz.  He's one of the intellectual leaders in the anti-male violence movement and he packs a semester's worth of information into an hour.  Get it:
