What is this about?
Understanding, Defining, and Assessing Coercive Control to Prevent IPV
This project is led by; N. Zoe Hilton, University of Toronto and Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care; Dana Radatz, Niagara University; Kevin Nunes, Carleton University; and Elke Ham, Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care.
This project is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Council.
We want to connect academic scholars, community-based researchers, practitioners, and the broader public through outreach activities to identify knowledge gaps and research directions to understand, define, and assess coercive control.
How will we accomplish this?
1. Enhance knowledge of coercive control among IPV researchers and practitioners through a virtual seminar series by scholars who are international experts on coercive control.
2. Connect and promote collaboration among academic scholars and community-based researchers who study IPV through a networking event with facilitated discussions to identify knowledge gaps, research directions, and opportunities for cross-disciplinary research on coercive control.
3. Engage the general public in discussions about research priorities aimed at developing a mutual understanding of how to comprehend, define, and evaluate coercive control.
