TRI-I | Let's Talk about Sex, Violence & the Media | March 29 | The Phoenix Center

Have you ever wondered who creates media messages and what goals they are trying to achieve?

Are you interested in understanding the delivery techniques used to spin messages and persuade an audience? Join us for a critical discussion of how popular media reflects societal power dynamics and normalizes violence.

This interactive workshop provokes discussion about what interpersonal violence is and how media and pop culture messages contribute to the normalization of it in our culture. Activities, images and video clips about media messaging and message delivery will illustrate concepts of sexual objectification, gender construction, and the intersections of race, class, and power as they relate to interpersonal violence. These discussions are intended to help participants think critically about how the media relates to interpersonal violence and what individuals and groups can do to create social change.
