My Domestic Violence and Social Justice law school course is organized around a structural intersectional framework to encourage students to recognize how structural inequalities inform the types of abuse perpetrated, individual and community responses to abuse, meanings that a victim ascribes to abuse, and factors that increase the risk of abuse. The course challenges the dominant neoliberal ideology focus on individual responsibility that eclipses shared responsibility. The course combines experiential exercises, a presentation by members of a community-based survivor organization, discussion of a hypothetical case with a legal practitioner, and court observation to help students apply theoretical insights to practical issues of individual representation and policy-making.
我开设的家庭暴力与社会正义法学院课程围绕一个结构性交叉框架展开，以鼓励学生认识到结构性不平等如何影响所实施的虐待类型、个人和社区对虐待的反应、受害者赋予虐待的意义以及增加虐待风险的因素。该课程挑战了主导的新自由主义意识形态对个人责任的关注，这种关注掩盖了共同责任。该课程结合了体验式练习、一个基于社区的幸存者组织成员的演讲、与法律从业者对一个假设案例的讨论以及法庭观察，以帮助学生将理论见解应用于个人代理和政策制定的实际问题。
