Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course covers intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner homicide/femicide (IPH/IPF).

Students will be made familiar with theories concerning violence and control mechanisms and current international research on IPV and IPH. They are expected to be prepared for classes (readings) and contribute to discussions in class. We will be discussing and reflecting on findings on IPV/IPH.

Main focuses:
Types of IPV
Violence as a means of control in intimate relationships
Gender-specific aspects
Masculinity and gender roles
From IPV to IPH

Obligatory term paper: students are required to hand in a term paper. They are expected to find, choose and sum up one relevant journal article on IPV/IPH independently (1 to 2 pages). Feedback will be given if needed.
