Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault:
(CRM/SOCL 560 & WMST 560)
The webpage for this class was
originally prepared as part of my involvement in Eastern Michigan University's
Instructional Technology Across the Curriculum Workshop (2000)
If you have problems
keeping the right files with you, check out SugarSync,
which makes your documents available from any computer by keeping them on
a secure website - no more thumb drives or emailing yourself documents.
There is also a 'magic briefcase' option that keeps all the documents in
that folder synced across multiple computers (work on a file at home
and it will update the file on your laptop automatically).
Instead of a paper from an internet
assignment, you will be downloading a worksheet
and using the following two sources to answer the questions.

Cathy
Winkler, Rape As Social Murder, The
Peace Drug [2 page quote reaction that covers both readings. For the
Peace Drug, focus on sexual assault – what are the effects of
victimization, what other experiences does it seem similar to, how does
this treatment work, etc?]
When I heard this on the radio yesterday,
I said to myself, "This is it. This is the piece we can use to start
discussions that get to the root of how difference is constructed as
hierarchy... which is what women's oppression is, what gender is as a
system of oppressive social power... and when there is no
"difference," difference is constructed (you get to be the
"wife," the punk) to construct heirarchy. This is where we can
show men what it is like to be women... how rape as a constant reality
(one more regulated than really prohibited) in the background serves to
push all women into the perennial sexual-contract: protection in exchange
for obedience." The Blog
by Stan Goff: [Prison] Rape (The Huffington Post)

NOTE – ALL back work should be in
by 4/5 so I can grade them before I get all the term papers. Papers
after this date are subject to a substantially increased late penalty.
Depending on the number of paper and my workload, it may be necessary
for you to receive an incomplete to give me the necessary time to
grade them without holding up the grades for the rest of class.
Remember that Professors do not have
regular office hours after the last class. Make sure to get in touch
before classes end if you have an important issues to resolve.
week 13: 12/6
final
paper due / presentations (attendance expected)
When grading papers, I normally add a few
sentences of comments in case there is a question about the grade. If you
would like more extensive comments, I am happy to provide them. Please put
a note on the first page requesting comments.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
