Profile Information

Hometown:
Jasper, GA, USA (though currently residing in New Orleans, LA)
About Me:
I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology at Tulane University, and I study gender-based violence among Creole and Mestizo populations in western Belize. Along with investigating the contributing factors which promote a differential domestic violence reporting prevalence between members of these two groups, I have also been working for the last few years with a Belizean NGO to open a second women's shelter in the area, as there is currently only one in the country. It is my continual goal to join forces with others studying similar problems in different areas so that we may strive for an international coalition of applied social scientists and local residents, together advocating for human rights.
