The Battering Intervention Services Coalition of Michigan Conference
Religion, Faith, Spirituality, Science & Research: Engaging for Safety and Accountability
November 14-16, 2018
Lansing, MI
Dr. Eisler?s keynote will place the work to stop traditions of domestic violence in its larger social and historical context. Challenging conventional thinking, Eisler will show that violence and abuse in families is built into cultures (whether Eastern or Western, secular or religious) that orient to the configuration of domination systems. The presentation will also demonstrate how re-examining and re-defining stereotypes of masculinity and femininity is key to not only ending domestic violence but also to building foundations for a more equitable, caring, truly spiritual society. Drawing on Dr. Eisler’s decades of research, it validates the vital work of changing patterns of domination and violence in families, where people first learn what is considered moral and right in all human relations.
Will this speech be webcast or recorded for those unable to attend?
