Preventing Sexual Violence And Changing The Rape Culture

Has America created a culture of sexual violence? We talk about how this country’s social norms sanction rape and the role that men have in solving this serious issue.

Guests:

  • Jeff Bucholtz is director of "We End Violence" workshops and co-president of the San Diego Domestic Violence Council.
  • Dr. Joah Williams is a psychology professor at UMKC and the director of the Stress and Trauma Evaluation and Prevention Science Laboratory.

Jeff Bucholtz presents 'A Way From Violence' at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27 at the Pierson Auditorium on the UMKC Campus.  Admission is free.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

Slow news days are a thing of the past. As KCUR’s news director, I want to cut through the noise, provide context to the headlines, and give you news you can use in your daily life – information that will empower you to make informed decisions about your neighborhood, your city and the region.
