When I talk with people about our shared interests in ending violence against women, I often point to healthcare. After all, lots of people are passionate about healthcare — from costs to access and lots in between. Those same people may not think of violence against women as their issue. Yet, one way to addressContinue reading “Asthma and Intimate Partner Abuse: Getting the Word out about New Research Findings”

A Season of Change: October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Change is hard. That’s the story we tell ourselves. Though it’s not the whole story. Change can also be energizing, validating, exciting. Irresistible, even. Of course, when it comes to domestic violence, change definitely seems just plain old hard. After all, intimate partner abuse remains stubbornly common, with evidence pointing to increases in recent years.Continue reading “A Season of Change: October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month”

One day, shortly after hard copies of Every 90 Seconds arrived with their periwinkle covers to my doorstep, I rounded the corner into the office I share with my spouse and stopped short.

Postcards from the Road with Every 90 Seconds
The TSA Agent grabbed my carry-on off of the conveyor belt. “We have to search your bag. You have a library of books in there,” he explained over the din of the security checkpoint.

Countering Myths about Sexual Assault
Myths about sexual assault remain common, including in courtrooms. This was certainly true during the recent civil trial in the case filed by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump. To counter those myths, I took to the pages of The Conversation in a piece published this past month. In case you missed it (ICYMI), checkContinue reading “Countering Myths about Sexual Assault”
