Making the Personal Political: Towards a Structural Analysis of the Anti-Violence Movements of Armenia and the University of California, Irvine Laura Wallace Women’s Studies Senior Seminar with Lilith Mahmud June 2 nd, 2010

Main Arguments Typically use interpersonal approaches → Constructions of womanhood and survivorhood I suggest a structural approach → within a neoliberal context → to adequately address survivors along race, class, sexuality and gender lines

UCI CARE (Campus Assault Resources and Education) Personal experiences → analyze the movements’ dynamics Seeks the elimination of sexual violence → Through Peer Education groups and large-scale outreach

Transnational Feminism Armenian NGOs fighting domestic violence → American-funded → Western feminist expert-informed Structure of the programs Armenian families → Western approaches do not address specific needs of the diverse Armenian population

Conclusion Examine the history of movements → Legacies of second wave feminism Towards a structural analysis of anti- violence movements
