Short Course in Violence Against Women: Issues, Research and Policy
October-November 2007
London Metropolitan University's Department of Applied Social Sciences, in collaboration with the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit is running a short course on Violence against Women: Issues, Research and Policy. The course can be taken as a separate course only or as part of a broader study programme.
This course is aimed at professionals working in or developing specialist services or policy in the fields of violence against women as well as other professionals and students with an interest in developing their knowledge or entering a career in this field.
The course is delivered over six days, in three two-day blocks: 4, 5, 18, 19 October and 15, 16 November 2007.
The course, led by Prof. Liz Kelly, will introduce students to research on the prevalence, contexts and consequences of a range of forms of violence. By the end of this course students will be able to critically assess explanatory frameworks and contemporary policy.
During the first three days of the course students will focus on critical analysis of theories, definitions and research methods, including historical overview. More detailed attention will then be paid to:
· Theories of gender violence and human rights
· Intimate partner violence
· Harmful traditional practices e.g. female genital mutilation, honour crimes
· Trafficking and sexual exploitation
