Participants will examine the roles we can play as educators in ending violence against women. How do we begin a dialogue about violence against women? What challenges have we faced and how can we build upon our knowledge of those experiences? The Instutute will provide opportunities to join others in seeking, sharing and making sene of what we know about violence against women. The cost for the institute itself is only $125, if you register by June 15th. Three units of course credit (continuing ed) available for $105. Academic (degree applicable) course credit will also be available upon request. Information about events and speakers is available at the website, which is www.amnestyusa.org/svawinstitute/.
