Economics and the paradoxical dynamic between challenging patriarchy publicly and the retrenchment of domestic hierarchy.

Dr. Elizabeth Smith-Moschella, focuses on the implications of race and sexual assault policies in institutions. Several of her projects address how economic needs of survivors impacts their recovery, and evaluates prevention tools to reduce violence and harassment among marginalized communities.

In this episode we discuss the social cost of SV within institutions vs. the monetary incentives to protect women to understand what factors advance SV in different types of institutions like the workplace or academia. We also explore the momentum for re-victimization, and how this trauma is displayed in measurable facets: academic and career outcomes.
