About

The Gender-Based Violence Research Lab (GBVRL) at Lafayette College is co-directed by Professor Dana Cuomo (Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies) and Professor Susan Hannan (Psychology). We are a feminist research lab with interdisciplinary research projects centered on examining and addressing issues of gender-based violence at Lafayette College and across the Lehigh Valley.

 

The Gender-Based Violence Research Lab Whitepaper Series

In addition to scholarly publications, the GBVRL produces a Whitepaper Series, a collection of reports that we distribute to our community research partners and local stakeholders with the goal of working toward a safer community free of gender-based violence.
