DISCUSSION BOARD #10 (DUE 4/19)
For this week’s discussion board, please respond to any (or all) of these questions:
- What do INCITE/Critical Resistance say about why prisons are not the solution for gendered violence? Based on Crenshaw’s talk and (if you watched it), Out in the Night– what evidence can you offer to support their argument?
- Based on the film(s) you watched, using Crenshaw’s framework of intersectionality, what do you see as the the role of racism, or other structures of oppression like homophobia, in these stories of misogynistic violence?
- Based on the film(s) you watched, what do the victim-survivors say about their experience and how are their stories received– by their family/friends/colleagues, the legal system, the media?
- What questions do YOU want to bring to class for discussion?
