  • Dr. April Zeoli

    Catie interviews Dr. April Zeoli, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Management and Policy

    in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, a firearm violence researcher studying
    intimate partner homicide and examining extreme-risk protection order laws and their implementation.
    She and Catie discuss the challenges of accessing data and records around gun violence in intimate
    partner cases as well as the ways implementation of “red flag laws” can improve to ensure gun
    relinquishment occurs. And most importantly, Dr. Zeoli shares that the research indeed suggests “that
    we can prevent gun violence and reduce homicide through laws that restrict dangerous people from
    having guns”.

    passion for bringing more diversity into the field of gender-based violence. The two discuss the
    importance of prevention and intervention that account for the intersections of identity and reach
    populations that have been historically oppressed and underserved. Dr. Sabina also discusses the
    potential long-term implications of her current study with local domestic violence survivors in Quito,
    Ecuador using integrative community therapy, which she describes as a culturally congruent, non-

    victims of violence. She and Catie discuss how the criminal and legal system can harm victims and
    further the perpetration of violence. Professor Goodmark discusses how her passion to mitigate further

  • Dr. Kaitlin Boyle

    Catie interviews Dr. Kaitlin Boyle, Associate Professor in the Department of Criminology and Criminal

    Justice and the University of South Carolina, who uses social psychology and sociological perspectives to
    study how social inequalities and power dynamics shape the socialization processes that enable
    environments in which violence occurs. She and Catie discuss her approach to research as looking at
    violence as both a reflection of and reinforcer of inequality and its influence on her varied research
    interests, including looking at the role gender plays in mass gun violence. And finally, Dr. Boyle shares
    more about the process of moving her Violence and (In)justice Lecture Series to a working group,
    thereby building professional networks across the many fields addressing interpersonal violence and
    encouraging interdisciplinary research collaborations.

    funded evaluation of the therapeutic horticulture program at the Greenhouse 17 shelter and its
    implications for improvement in self-esteem and self-efficacy for women participating in therapeutic
    horticulture shelter programs. The two discuss the value of funding innovative research in the field of
    violence against women and the impacts of what Dr. Renzetti calls “purposive research”, which she

    collaborations within communities can impact trauma-informed policies and services. They also discuss
    the practical implications of her recently published book, Every 90 Seconds: Our Common Cause Ending
    Violence Against Women, which Dr. DePrince shares “connects the ways that violence against women is
    tangled up with education reform, legal reform, healthcare access, and economic inequities and makes
    the case that all members of a community share a stake in working together to prevent violence”.
