About\u00a040 years ago,\u00a0a concept meaning ‘change of attitude,’ was first introduced to the body of the University of Connecticut: Metanoia.\u00a0 Nine\u00a0years later, in 1979,\u00a0a day of Metanoia was\u00a0called by the University students in the name of \u201cViolence in the Community.\u201d\u00a0 It\u00a0was a conscientious response of the community to both the brutal sexual assault of a graduate student and incidents of racist violence on campus.<\/p>\n

After experiencing multiple sexual assaults in the community last year, students, once again, called for the Metanoia. It is not\u00a0just another chance to learn\u00a0more about\u00a0violence against women, but to critically reflect on; actively engage in dialogue about; and ultimately to prevent it. Since the 1979 Metanoia, many meaningful programs and services\u00a0have been\u00a0created in our community to intervene violence against women.\u00a0As we look back on\u00a0past\u00a0thirty years,\u00a0intervention alone is not enough. The 2009 Metanoia\u00a0challenges us as a community to\u00a0delve into\u00a0and prevent violence against women.<\/p>\n

To echo the purpose of the 2009 Metanoia, a subject guide on\u00a0human rights publications and unpublished manuscript mateirals\u00a0on violence against women at\u00a0the Human Rights and Alternative Press Collections at the Dodd Research Center will soon be available for teaching and learning on the UConn Libraries website.\u00a0I\u00a0will\u00a0also create a weekly blog post to update\u00a0my discoveries on relevant materials.<\/p>\n

The 2009 Metanoia will be held on the week of October 4th. It\u00a0includes keynote speakers, panel discussions, in-class activities, arts, poetry, films,\u00a0student co-curricular activities, and more, in collaboration\u00a0with\u00a0all UConn regional campuses, the Schools\u00a0of Social Work, Law, and Medicine.<\/p>\n
