Get Out of My Life: Stalking and Harassment
Jan. 15, 5:30-6:30 PM
Kissam C216
Stalking and harassment are issues our students deal with far too often. Have you or someone you know ever had interactions with someone that made you feel uncomfortable? Disrupted your day-to-day activities? Led you to block a phone number? Continued to contact you when you asked them to stop? Caused you to turn off your phone or block them on social media? Then this is the place for you. Come learn about how to recognize the warning signs of stalking and harassment, and what resources are available.
Bystander Intervention Training: Green Dot
Jan. 17, 5:00-8:00 PM
Sarratt 112
The bystander intervention curriculum is a comprehensive approach to violence prevention that capitalizes on the power of peer and cultural influence across all levels of the socio-ecological model. Informed by social change theory, the model targets all community members as potential bystanders, and seeks to engage them, through awareness, education, and skills-practice, in proactive behaviors that establish intolerance of violence as the norm, as well as reactive interventions in high-risk situations – resulting in the ultimate reduction of violence.
Language of Violence
Jan. 22, 5:30-6:30 PM
Kissam C216
This presentation examines the ways in which language reflects and sometimes perpetuates violence in our culture. By exploring common vernacular, phrases, slang terms, etc. participants will learn how insidious our language can be, and how to more carefully examine the way culture describes and speaks about intimacy, women, and sexual violence. Time will be spent specifically looking at different forms of media and everyday usage of words.
