This course looks at domestic, partner, and family violence as a social problem. Students will learn about the feminist social movement that brought domestic violence to national attention, how protections were codified into law, and the major critiques that have since arisen. Final project will combine your experiences in the community with what you learn in class, as you and a small group propose a potential intervention into the social problem of domestic violence.

This course focuses on the dynamics of social change change through collective direct-action campaigns as well as the process of leadership development. Three primary questions are explored: why people organize, what are the distinctive qualities and skills involved with organizing, and what is entailed in becoming a good organizer.
