I'm deeply impressed by @emilynix100.bsky.social's passion and determination to improve the wellbeing and outcomes of gender-based violence survivors, both through research and real-world impact. I've learned so much from her on this project and look forward to many future collaborations!

🚨New Working Paper🚨 (1/12) W/ amazing Xiqian Cai, Zhengquan Cheng & @emilynix100.bsky.social, we've written a new paper Gender-Based Violence and Judge Responses to study whether judicial rulings shift in response to broader social change @uniofleicester.bsky.social @usc.edu @marshall.usc.edu
