Please join the National Association of Social Workers USC Unit, USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work Alumni Association and Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention and Service (RSVP) for an important discussion on IPV as it impacts individuals, families and communities. Speakers will approach IPV from an intersectional lens, providing attendees a nuanced understanding of the role of oppression, historical and generational trauma, institutional discrimination and other "isms" play in each of their lives.

The evening will consist of a series of short "TED" talk style presentations featuring four phenomenal speakers, each of whom will shed light on various aspects of IPV as it relates to their multiple social identities and/or the identities of the communities they engage in their work. The presentations will be followed by a smaller group conversation and activity that will address the following question:

As a professional, how do you convert conversations around intimate partner violence into action you can take to aid vulnerable populations and inform the way you approach your practice?

The session will finish up with a Q&A session and reflections from our moderators.
