«Our research focuses on intimate partner violence’s situational risk factors and models the moments when it is most likely to occur. »
What we do
Selected publications

Our work aims to identify the contexts in which individuals are at risk of engaging in transgressive or violent behaviors in their intimate relationships (e.g., sexual consent violations) or professional relationships (e.g., sexual misconduct). Ultimately, our goal is to develop prevention initiatives as well as interventions for both perpetrators and survivors.
