Join us for Session 4 of the Peace in Practice Learning Series.
From Toxic to Transformative: Ideals of Masculinity and Its Connection to Community Violence
This facilitated session will examine the complex relationship between perceptions of masculinity and their influence on community violence. Utilizing an intersectional approach, the facilitator will lead participants through interactive activities and discussions designed to analyze how socialization processes and ideals of masculinity may contribute to violent behaviors. The session aims to foster a respectful, open environment for dialogue, encouraging participants to consider societal norms, cultural factors, and personal experiences that inform their understanding of masculinity and its connection to violence.
