Center Hour: To Have and To Hit? Understanding and Preventing Domestic Violence
Jacquelyn Campbell, Ph.D. and Cartie
Lominack, Director, Shelter for Help in Emergency
Even as the health care system is beginning to acknowledge domestic
violence through routine screening and interventions by health care professionals,
there is little cross-cultural understanding of domestic violence and how to
prevent its occurrence. This presentation draws upon anthropological work in
different cultures and countries for ideas about prevention and early intervention.

The
Underground Lesbian Classic!
The Second Coming of Joan of Arc
Written and performed by Carolyn Gage, The Second Coming of Joan of Arc
does more than tell a story; it provides a matrix. For most women, it has become
a survival strategy to file away the memories of violations and failure, to
treat each episode as an isolated phenomenon --- the result of an accident,
a mistake, poor timing, bad judgement, bad luck. At The Second Coming of
Joan of Arc, there is a tremendous synapsing going on as women in the audience
begin to connect their own experiences with those of Joan. Unwrapping guilty
secrets, shameful memories, trauma histories, women begin to see themselves
in the matrices of Joan's story, and a pattern of betrayal emerges. The realization
dawns that these seemingly random incidents constitute the intricately choreographed
movements of a global conspiracy. And then the catharsis begins. Sponsored by
the Sexual Assault Education Office, UVa Women's Center, and others.
Wednesday, October 30, 7:30 p.m., McLeod Hall Auditorium. Tickets: Non-students
$10 ($12 at door) and Students $5 ($7 at door). Available after Oct. 4 at the
UVA Women's Center (check or cash only), UVA Boxoffice and Plan 9 Records on
University Avenue.

and tobacco advertising and the image of women in advertising. Cosponsored with
