Sexual violence is common globally and its effects on mental and physical health are well established. Dr. Koenen will share how her experience of rape at age 22 altered the course of her life and shapes her research to this day. Discussion will include considerations of how lived experiences of trauma can both challenge and motivate an academic career as well as the complexity of disclosure in an academic research context.

We are capping the event at 25 people to facilitate an environment for discussion. Please sign up below, and we will confirm your spot and the location of the event. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend, so your spot may go to someone on the waitlist.
