As part of the Man Up Against Violence initiative two major presentations were held during a week-long series of events. Dr. Shauneen Pete and Dr. Michael Cappello of the Faculty of Education addressed the connection between stereotypical representations and violence directed toward First Nations girls and women during an event on October 30. Later that day keynote speaker Dr. Jackson Katz, an educator and author on violence spoke about men’s role in ending violence against women.
