On WestSouthwest, a discussion of violence against women, and the role men can plan in  preventing it. And Kalamazoo Mayor Bobby Hopewell seeks another two year term. 

Gender violence expert Jackson Katz spoke at Western Michigan University last week on "the bystander approach." Before his appearance at WMU, he spoke with WMUK's Earlene McMichael. 

Bobby Hopewell has been Kalamazoo's Mayor since 2007. He won and kept that post by winning the most votes of any Kalamazoo City Commission candidate every two years. A new election format is being used beginning this year, it includes a separate election of the mayor. Hopewell tells us what he would do with another two year term.
