She works in three research areas including interpersonal violence. Her work has examined sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and bullying and violence in schools. She is particularly interested in survivors of sexual assault, and her dissertation looked at adult female survivors. Her second area of interest is the difference by the gender of employees in the workplace and personal life. She recently conducted a survey about gender-based discrimination in surgery in Korea, and is working on academic articles using the data. The third topic she researches is the support system for underrepresented groups. She has participated in research projects on children and adolescents, and young adult isolation, and is currently working on a project focused on returning of birth babies, cancer patients, and work accidents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce5e4f47e2700662d0eef8/164c076c-f5d7-474e-929b-0c04031740c6/nino-testa.jpg Visiting Scholars Dr. Nino Testa is an Associate Professor and the Associate Director of Women’s & Gender Studies at TCU in Texas. He previously served as a Development Associate at the Feminist Press at CUNY, New York, and on staff at the Women’s Center at Tufts University. He holds a Ph.D. in English from Tufts, and a BA in Women’s Studies and English from Miami University. Dr. Testa’s interdisciplinary research focuses primarily on queer activism, pedagogy, and worldmaking, and is grounded in community-centered initiatives that center organizers and artists as producers of knowledge. His recent article, “If You Are Reading It, I Am Dead: Activism, Local History, and the AIDS Quilt,” documents the history of one of the most routinely displayed panels of the AIDS Quilt and argues for a reevaluation of the Quilt as a complex archive of direct-action activism in local contexts. He has also curated an award- winning queer archival Instagram account for “The Dallas Way: An LGBTQ History Project” and is interested in the uses of digital humanities in teaching AIDS activist history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fce5e4f47e2700662d0eef8/dfcd641d-2701-4e77-8be6-7313ae1fc359/Caroniaheadshot+copy.jpg Visiting Scholars Nancy Caronia is a writer, scholar, and educator who co-edited Personal Effects: Essays on Memoir, Teaching, and Culture in the Work of Louise DeSalvo (Fordham University Press) and wrote the introduction for the reprint of DeSalvo’s only novel Casting Off (Bordighera Press).
