Training Athletes as Student Violence Prevention Educators: The Current Nightmare of Male Sports

About

This presentation will discuss the collective experiences of student violence prevention educators and the struggles in engaging men through programming and training on campus. We focus on the power dynamics that exist in any kind of engagement while evaluating our experiences as an all-female student team. We end with key takeaways, alternatives, and a framework to guide future programming efforts in engaging college men as active allies on our campus and others.

Through our training and programming as Violence Prevention Educators, we will express our experiences and challenges in engaging men in conversations in relation to healthy relationships, violence prevention, Title IX & Clery Act Violence, campus policies and procedures, and bystander intervention. This presentation will address issues that arise when engaging with male students on campus, especially male athletes, and potential solutions to improve overall community involvement.
