HON 394: Men and Feminism, 6-9pm M/W
This course examines how the patriarchy oppresses men, cultivating
a culture of violence, which ultimately harms everyone in society. We will
explore the relationships between masculinity, violence and its cultures,
gender, and how feminism can cure the social issues that arise from these
interconnections. More specifically, we will investigate the role that media
and other forms of cultural socialization play in the enforcement of patriarchy
by means of documentaries and academic texts, taking an interdisciplinary
approach, including women's studies, gender studies, sociology, psychology, and
philosophy.
This course utilizes the Inside-Out (IO) Prison Exchange Program model. Lori Pompa of Temple University founded the program
in 1997, teaching the first class in the Philadelphia Prison System. IO is an
educational program with an innovative pedagogical approach tailored to
effectively facilitate dialogue across difference. It originated as a means of
bringing together campus-based college students with incarcerated students for
a semester-long course held in a prison, jail or other correctional setting.
Since it began in 1997, Inside-Out has grown into an international network of
more than 900 trained instructors from across the U.S. and several countries.
Correctional and higher education institutions have partnered to create
opportunities for more than 40,000 "inside" and "outside"
students to move beyond the walls that separate them. Inside-Out generates
social change through transformative education.
All but two classes will be held at the Maricopa Re-entry Center in north Phoenix. Transportation will be provided to via
Lyft vouchers, carpooling from the Downtown campus and possibly the West campus
(with sufficient enrollment). Students must be available from
4:30pm-10:00pm on Mondays and Wednesdays during the Spring semester, session A for class
time and travel to and from the facility.
