Project Update: Understanding and Combating Cyber-Sexual Violence
We are excited to share the latest developments in our research on non-consensual dissemination of intimate images (NCII), a form of cyber-sexual violence. Our project seeks to establish a validated measurement tool for NCII and identify shared risk and protective factors across online and in-person sexual violence.
Since our last update, a team of experts was collected to provide guidance and improvement for the scale, and we have officially started qualitative data collection with participants. We have also been invited to present at the international society for research on aggression. This summer, we will share our findings with a group of leading researchers and policy folks. This avenue will help us benefit from other scholars’ expertise and start disseminating our findings immediately.
Additionally, we attended the National Association of Student Personnel and Administrators conference (NASPA) in March. In an effort to promote our research and increase awareness about online sexual violence, we spoke to college administrators and education policy specialists about the influence of online violence on their campuses and what efforts are being made to support their students.
We look forward to continuing our efforts to making college campuses a safer place for all.
Thank you for your support in our mission to combat cyber-sexual violence.
