Today we will examine the reality of gender violence on a global scale and consider emergent forms of community advocacy to effect transformative social change. We’re joined by Sharmila Lodhia, Associate Professor in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at Santa Clara University and Bannan Faculty Fellow in the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education. Her research examines legal responses to violence against Indian women through a transnational lens, highlighting the impact of migrating spouses, traveling cultures, and shifting bodies of law.
