Summary
The McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention (MCVP) at the University of Utah aims to prevent relationship and sexual violence in higher education by bridging the gap between research and education focusing on primary prevention. We intentionally focus on primary prevention or stopping harm before it happens in the first place by teaching people how to avoid causing harm, rather than how to avoid experiencing harm. We do this by conducting research that informs practice, including educational programming, and using insights from educational efforts to shape our research initiatives.
When you hear about sexual violence prevention, what do you think of? Maybe something like pepper spray, talking about consent, improving lighting, or the training you had to take to register for classes. At the MCVP, we change this approach to ending sexual violence by engaging in primary prevention – stopping harm before it starts by engaging in projects that place responsibility on to those who have the potential to cause harm, which includes us all. No experience in relationship and sexual violence-related work is required or expected, just a willingness to grow, learn, be uncomfortable, and engage with issues of power, oppression, and privilege with an open mind. If you are passionate about ending sexual violence on college campuses through creative approaches that engage your interests, abilities, and the communities you care the most about, consider applying to join our team.
