Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Hello everyone,

 

   I work at a large university with a couple of fairly well-established
peer sexual violence educator programs. Recently, I had a
student-facilitator of mine who was interested in creating a documentary
about the "experience" of sexual assault prevention education on our
campus. Given that this is a peer ed program, there are lots of aspects
(peer educator training, workshop facilitation, personal lives of
facilitators during change, etc.) that could be focused on. 

 

    My student wants this film to be useful to either 1) tell the story
of the work that I believe is happening on many college campuses, or 2)
to help those of us who are doing this work to continue doing it better.
That said, I have a question for folks on this list. If someone was
going to create a documentary that would be about/for you, what would
you want it to accomplish? I know everyone is really busy right now, so
don't worry about being too specific, I'm just looking for your gut
responses. Thanks & good luck at the start of this semester!

 

In peace,

Ross
