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

["Coleen Harrington Barry - Counseling" <>]

I know we have an Alternative Spring Break program here at Franklin Pierce 
that this would work well within. However, I'm wondering if it could be given 
a name that more college aged women & men might identify with, as 
unfortunately I think there's some resistance and negative stereotyping 
around the word "feminist." I know that one word that keeps coming up on our 
campus around these issues is "respect." What do others think??? Any other 
thoughts or ideas about inclusive & creative titles???

Sincerely,
Coleen

Hello, friends!  

Many college campuses are offering "Alternative Spring Break"s that provide 
"service learning" opportunities for students - building houses, etc.  A few 
years back, I thought that having a "Feminist Spring Break" would be fun - 
students go to a traditional "Spring Break" party area like Daytona Beach 
and, instead of patronizing "Wet T-shirt" contests and "Girls Gone Wild" 
filmings, they would do three things:

1. Learn about violence against women (mornings, maybe?)
2. Help the local domestic violence and sexual assault programs with projects 
they need (afternoons?)
3. Think up and enact creative protests to the "Girls Gone Wild" type events, 
which I assume happen in the evening anyway.  

My colleague at a college was going to partner with me to make this happen 
through her college, but she doesn't really have the time any more.  I'd be 
happy to cofacilitate the training and be the bridge-builder with the local 
programs in those areas (I've had initial conversations with some of them 
already), but I don't work at a college so I can't offer internship credit, 
etc.  

What do you think of this idea?  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

Quote of the Month: May, 2008: 
".we gain something profound when we stand up for our beliefs, just as part 
of us dies when we know that something is wrong, yet do nothing. We could 
call this radical dignity. We don't have to tackle every issue, but if we 
remain silent in the face of cruelty, injustice, and oppression, we sacrifice 
part of our soul. In this sense, we keep on acting because by doing so we 
affirm our humanity - the core of who we are, and what we hold in common with 
others."

Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear", http://www.theimpossible.org/

Hi Folks,
Can you let me know if you receive multiple copies of emails from sapc?  I'm 
trying to narrow down the source of a problem identified by a member.
Thanks,
Claire
