The headlines tell the story: The Epstein files. Femicides. The Tate brothers. The misogynous manosphere. Eric Swalwell. Graham Platner. The list goes on and on: the ongoing crisis of men’s violence against women affects not only our families and communities –- but also our politics. Join us for an engaging talk by internationally renowned educator, author, and lecturer Jackson Katz, Ph.D., who will discuss key ideas from his new book Every Man. The concise, energetic book combines social history with cultural critique about the ongoing crisis of gender-based violence. It also includes many concrete suggestions for what everyone – but especially men in positions of cultural, institutional, and political leadership -- can do about it.
