Proposal Title

Preventing Aftershocks: A Multidisciplinary Exploration of Gender–Based Violence

Presenter Information

Molly Pistrang, Lesley University

Abstract

This session explores how experiences as a gender–based violence research intern with the Lesley Women’s Center and the development of an installation that examines the after–effects of sexual assault provide the genesis of my master’s thesis: a multidisciplinary, data driven course for middle school students on healthy relationships and consent. This course, tailored to diverse cultural contexts, provides relevant and appropriate prevention programming that promotes the inclusion and empowerment of all voices, especially those of underserved populations.
