*apologies for cross postings*

 

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

Thank you so much, Catherine and Judith!  It's an honor to do this
wonderful work, and it means everything to have the praise of women like
you to whom I strive to be accountable.

You folks experience the wonderful, funny, smart Wendy Murphy here on
this list.  I get to have her here in my community, and just happened to
notice this column by her in yesterday's paper:
http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/columnists/view.bg?articleid=137760.
 It's about the whole Mel Gibson debacle (he's one of the characters in
my play, so this recent stuff has given me more material), except it
touches on the sexist things he said, that I didn't even know about). 

Way to go, Wendy!  (she's not just a brilliant ex-prosecutor, law
professor, CNN commentator, etc.: she's a pithy, funny columnist!)

Until the violence stops, Ben.

August 2006 quote: "As men who are part of the solution to end violence
against women and sexism, our success is dependent on seeking the
leadership of women and allowing that leadership to guide us.If we do
not listen to, invest in and believe the voice of women we are once
again maintaining the imbalance of power and reinforcing our status
while we continue to marginalize women and their experience. After all,
women are the experts on our violence and abuse toward them. The
dominating group cannot define the oppression for those who are
oppressed." - Ted Bunch, A Call to Men
