Utilizing Intersectional Pedagogy in a Campus Sexual Assault Course
Abstract
AbstractIt is of critical importance that clinicians are trained in sexual assault prevention through an intersectional lens. In this article, I describe a campus sexual assault curriculum that interrogates the role of systematic oppression to prevent the erasure of marginalized identities. I then describe a group project where students create a sexual assault prevention program based on intersectional theory and the role of power and oppression. Finally, I describe improvement areas and specific ways training programs can ensure future practitioners are addressing privilege, oppression, and social change in their campus sexual assault work.
