Center for Victim Research Convening: Conducting Research on and with Hard-to-Reach Victim Populations

Join the Center for Victim Research to explore strategies, challenges, and successes with conducting research with victim populations that have historically been difficult to reach for research but who may also experience greater barriers to victim services and recovery. Keynote panelists will share their work and recommendations for researching diverse victims’ experiences, particularly using strong community engagement. As an attendee, you will have an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and take part in smaller breakout discussions.

• Mary Breaux, Ph.D., Clinical Professor and Director of the Crime Victims’ Institute at Sam Houston State University – discussing research with children and older adults who experience abuse.
• Carlos Cuevas, Ph.D., Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice and Co-Director of the Violence and Justice Research Lab at Northeastern University – discussing research relating to Latino victimization and service utilization.
• Katie Edwards, Ph.D., Professor of Counseling Psychology and Director of the Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln – discussing research relating to Indigenous families and sexual and gender minority youth.
