Overview: Brown Symposium XXVII
This symposium will focus on promising new approaches to the building
of just and loving relationships, and to the prevention of intimate
violence. Our participants are pioneers in this effort, finding ways
to enlarge the work of love and justice, recruiting men to the cause
of violence prevention, and countering the glorification of gender
violence in popular culture that proposes destructive images of
womanhood and manhood to young people growing up. Our speakers will
address legal, psychological and spiritual issues; they will offer
ways to break the recurring cycles of intimate violence, to heal the
maladies that produce them, and to promote the love and justice that
provide health and fulfillment to the human family.
