Good Love? Taking Action in Relationships
Empowering students, faculty, and staff through
dialogue, education, and action.
Members
of the University community are invited to participate
in a series of dialogues led by co-gender, multi-racial
teams of students and staff, in which participants
will have the unique opportunity to explore what
is possible when we work together to develop a
model for ending violence and other forms of oppression.
Participants
will have the opportunity to explore opening new
channels of communication, both across boundaries
within the community and within interpersonal
relationships. We each bring both positive and
negative experiences of interacting with the world
around us into our familial, friendship, romantic,
and professional relationships. We seek to encourage
participants to identify effective communication
strategies and develop healthy relationships,
in order to consciously break the cycle of oppression
and violence.
Collectively
we can create a compelling vision of relationships
free of violence and characterized by equality
and respect.
Calendar
of Events
Good
Love: From Talk to Action will offer participants
comfortable learning spaces in which to explore,
listen, and build skills. All events are open
to any member of the University community, whether
new to thinking about these issues, or seasoned
activists. Most events are for both men and women;
a few are designed to facilitate discussion in
a single-sex environment, and are delineated as
such.
