CAST 405 - Feminist Advocacy to End Gender-Based Violence

(3 credits)

This course introduces students to the roots of gender-based violence along with the political and cultural structures that perpetuate it; the course also explores how this violence might be brought to an end. Students will investigate the local and global impact of violence; how gendered violence intersects with race, class, sexuality, age, physical ability, and the oppressions that are linked to these identities; and strategies for addressing gender-based violence. As part of the class, students will complete a 45-hour advocacy training offered in partnership with the Advocacy Center of Winona. Recommended prerequisite: CAST 301 - Perspectives on Child Maltreatment and Child Advocacy. Grade only. Offered when demand warrants.
