Description

In an effort to increase sexual violence awareness and prevention among male students, I have collected teaching resources, formed contacts with community advisors, and conducted four small discussion groups consisting of five to twelve men residing in Minnesota State University, Mankato dormitories. I observed participants, requested evaluations of the sessions, and analyzed respondent evaluation forms for receptiveness to discussion of sexual violence and awareness. I found that while stereotypes of the Women's Studies Department made men apprehensive about participating, this did not indicate lack of male interest in sexual violence prevention. Small and informal groups can be implemented in residential halls to initiate discussion of sexual violence among men in the MSU community.
