Natasha Mulvihill is senior lecturer in Criminology and head of the Centre for Gender and Violence Research in the School for Policy Studies. She will start the session by talking about her own work and the work of the Centre, in case there are some fruitful connections that can be made with Anth/Arch colleagues. Natasha will then talk about her interest in the coercive power of authority and its relationship to sexual violence and abuse. She was recently awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant for 2023-2028 to look at 'high status/high trust' professionals who perpetrate sexual violence against adults, and how these abuses are identified, managed and sanctioned by their professional bodies and internal tribunals.
