Art as Resistance to Dominant Masculinity
May 22, 2011
MassArt
Pozen Centre
Tetlow Street
This program will introduce the theoretical model of hegemonic masculinity in order to understand how dominant modes of masculinity are created and reinforced in various cultures.
Following this introduction, a model for understanding ways in which people negotiate with and resist dominant forms of masculinity will be presented alongside various video clips of people discussing various ways to understand what masculinity means. Finally, art as a medium to respond to dominant masculinity (particularly in the form of violence against women) will be presented with various examples of ways in which artists help shape new ways of thinking about masculinity and gender.
Westward Bound!

I have recently been offered (and accepted) a position as the Program Director for the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology, Fresno Campus. In addition to my director duties and supporting the good work of the really interesting and innovative present faculty, my intent will be to focus on community action research and working with doctoral students to do community research that supports communities and teaches students about issues of privilege, diversity, and social change and the roles of a psychologist in contributing to that effort. It’s going to be great!!
I am sad to leave all of my friends and colleagues in MA but excited about this extraordinary opportunity and to reconnect to my West Coast crew.
More soon!

Community Psychology course at Curry College!
Posted By jack on January 15, 2011
Some people were asking me to post more information about the new course I put together last semester in Community Psychology. Ask and you shall receive! The implementation of the course and two anticipated follow up research projects resulted in a grant from the Association for American Schools and Colleges as part of their Bringing Theory to Practice Program which I am really excited about. You can watch a digital story video about the course creation below!
The basic gist of the course was taking a 4-credit “science lab” model and incorporating theory and research in community psychology while training students in skills in how to be allies to Dorchester’s Close to Home‘s domestic and sexual violence prevention campaign. I met with over 50 people to plan the course (including enrolled students) to create this new addition to the curriculum. In addition, presenters were brought in from other human/social services agencies to discuss prevention and community empowerment. The result was really outstanding and for their final project students put together a digital stories event to discuss the prevention of hate crimes and relationship violence on campus. We all really learned a lot together and it was an amazing experience. You can learn more about this by also joining the facebook group or youtube community!
I obtained a grant from the American Association for Colleges and Universities to work with two students to study the impact of the course on the students who took it and on the institution. The grant is posted on the AACU Website as well. Stay tuned for results.
