Description
In order to gather information on interest and effectiveness of an educational session for men on sexual violence with a goal of establishing material basis for future seminars at Minnesota State University, Mankato, I have engaged the local campus religious organizations with assisting me in organizing small group discussions with interested males. After analyzing prior educational materials, teaching resources and current research data, I used participant observation to assess the usefulness of such discussions. Specifically I conducted two sessions with the assistance of campus ministry services. While some denominations were more eager to participate than others, I found that religious organizations possess the power, leadership and active members to advertise and support continuing education on sexual violence and prevention and assist the proliferation of knowledge on these issues.
