Stephen D. Grubman-Black, Communicative Disorders-Women's Studies Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo (Department of Speech Communication), holds a Joint Appointment as Professor of Communicative Disorders and Women's Studies at the University of Rhode Island. Currently Coordinator of the Bachelor of General Studies Degree Program and the Academic Advising Program at URI's Alan Shawn Feinstein College of Continuing Education, Steve divides his work among administration, teaching, and scholarship. Steve developed a section of WMS350 (Enforced Silences and Natural Recovery from Childhood Sexual Victimization) which focuses on challenging the heterosexist and patriarchal institutions which continue to damage and kill women, girls and boys. He is the author of Broken Boys/Mending Men, and offers trainings for professional helpers as well as workshops for male survivors. Current research focus is investigating and challenging the lack of care and regard for disenfranchised and poor victims of male violence in this rape culture in which we live. If we're not part of a resolution and reconciliation, then we are the problem! Affiliated Faculty
