Research on Gender Violence

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract

This panel presents three research projects on gender violence. The first examines disclosures of sexual violence in intimate relationships made in protection order petitions; the second investigates the class dimensions of sexual violence in intimate relationships; and the third addresses anti-feminist backlash on the internet, with particular attention to rape myths and claims that in intimate relationships, women are as violent as men.
