Sexual assault is a community-wide issue, and Kansas City Kansas Community College wants students, staff, faculty and community members to start talking about how to change this language of violence, according to college officials.
Men and Women Against Rape: Together We Can End Sexual Violence is at 9:30 and 11 a.m. Sept. 29 in Room 2325 of Lower Jewell. The event will be led by Jeff Bucholtz, of We End Violence – a national group that travels the country offering workshops, lectures and other services geared toward violence prevention. The host of the event is Women and Gender Advocacy Services of the KCKCC Counseling and Advocacy Center, Men Against Sexual Violence and the KCKCC Intercultural Center.
Bucholtz is co-president of the San Diego Domestic Violence Council and co-director of We End Violence. He is an award-winning adjunct faculty member at Southwestern College, teaching Oral Communication, public speaking and TELA Communication, among other courses. At San Diego State University, he teaches Popular Culture and Counseling, which focuses on the way popular culture impacts an individual’s identity.
The KCKCC presentation will focus on sexual assault as a societal issue, rather than making it a gender issue. Together We Can will take a look in an interactive way to see how culture facilitates sexual violence and its role in promoting unhealthy ideas about sex and consent.
For more information about Together We Can End Sexual Assault, Jennifer Gieschen, coordinator of Women and Gender Advocacy, at 913-288-7193.
