Please join us October 12 for a presentation by Josie Caves, winner of the Raluca Iosif Intimate Partner Violence Research Award. The research is designed to further our global understanding of intimate-partner violence and the factors associated with it in relation to homicide.

Caves, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health, will discuss her research on the impact of firearm regulations on intimate-partner violence. IntraHealth gender expert Constance Newman and UNC professor Beth Moracco will also discuss the larger research agenda around intimate-partner violence.

IntraHealth launched this award in spring 2016 to honor Raluca Iosif, an IntraHealth colleague whose life was cut short by violence in October 2015, and to ensure that Raluca’s deep commitment to global health—and to ending injustice and violence against women—lives on.

Light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
