7.Complement your Psy Major with a GWSS Course
GWSS 3415:Feminist Perspectives on Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence (3 credits) is a course that focuses on the history of and contemporary thinking about activism, social change, public policies, and legal remedies directed toward sexual assault and domestic violence, particularly from the point of view of feminism. The course deals, for example, with how notions of privacy and assumptions about traditional gender roles contribute to attitudes toward stranger sexual assault and intimate partner violence. Readings offer insight into early links between slavery and rape, between the temperance movement and domestic violence, and between views of child abuse and sexual abuse, as well as the increasing roles of psychiatry and social work in addressing such violence. The course traces how these historical foundations and cultural attitudes help determine contemporary responses by legal and law enforcement officials, and the course covers such diverse topics as sexual abuse of men and women in prison; incest; child abuse; elder abuse; sex trafficking; and sex offender treatment. Students read a memoir (Alice Seabold's Lucky) about surviving sexual assault and view a film (The Accused) as well as read historical and analytical texts. The course ends with a close look at a project by the president of William Mitchell College of Law on sexual predator laws, in terms of their effectiveness, feminist perspectives, and impact on Constitutional rights. Other speakers include a representative from a non-profit group devoted to stopping sexual assault and domestic violence, the former head of the Minneapolis Police Department Sex Crimes Unit, a police officer specializing in stopping stalking and domestic homicide, and a representative from an organization dedicated to restoring lives of offenders through clinical therapy. Contact instructor, Professor Mary Schuster if you have any questions.
