IGDS SHORT COURSE JUNE - JULY 2015 Men, Rights and Justice Dr. Levi Gahman with One Week | Monday 29 June to Friday 3 July 2015 | 9:00-12:00 Noon | IGDS Seminar Room, The UWI, St. Augustine Five sessions | Fifteen contact hours About the short course This discussion-based course will provide a foundation of critical thought on men and masculinity by addressing the following questions: — How do concerns of equality, rights, and social justice relate to men? — What issues do men face in regard to fatherhood, being young, and being in a relationship? — What social norms exist for men (and how were they developed?) in the areas of family, school, work, health, sports, politics, spirituality, and the media? — What significance does history, culture, and the economy have upon men and masculinity? —How do race, class, gender, ability, sexuality, nationality, and age impact notions and expectations of 'manhood' and masculinity? — What role does marginalization, discrimination, oppression, crime, and violence play in the lives of men? Or, if you just happen to be curious and like to hear diverse thoughts — this course will be intriguing. It will also be particularly interesting for anyone anyone who considers their role as a father, husband, boyfriend, son, or a brother to be important. And more specifically, it will appeal to men preparing to take future university courses, enter the workforce, or travel abroad, as well as anyone working in the prison system, policing and security, with male survivors of Child Sexual Assault and incest, or who are simply struggling for justice in general. Importantly, it is open to all people regardless of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, age, belief system, and nationality. All are welcome. Why should I take this course? If you would like to share your opinions on issues of men and masculinity, as well as listen to those of others then this will be a fun class for you to take.
