Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault:

originally prepared as part of my involvement in Eastern Michigan University's
Instructional Technology Across the Curriculum Workshop (2000)

law. It is a comprehensive sourcebook for information on the impact of the crime on victims, Michigan's sexual assault related statutes, including applicable defenses, special courtroom procedures that protect the rights of victims, witnesses, and defendants, scientific evidence, post-conviction and sentencing matters, and bond and discovery.

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

NOTE – ALL back work should be in
by 4/6 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: 12/7
Miller, finish (2-3
page quote reaction paper that includes a short summary of what you felt
were the most important points raised by the book overall)
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.
Optional: Toolkit
for Working with Men and Boys to Prevent Gender-Based Violence. Explore
one of the ‘lessons’ (except lesson 3) by doing the reading, writing
on one of the reflection questions and/or discussing the proposed exercise
for that lesson. Where there are several subsections to a lesson (i.e. 1., 2., 3., etc), your paper should have a summary, review or discussion
for each. The paper should be 2-3 pages (focusing on the content of the
website) and you should be prepared to explain the lesson to the class.
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.
