About
Inspired by my social work practice with survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and marriage immigrants who migrated to Taiwan through international marriages (mostly via marriage brokers), my research focuses on gender-based violence (GBV), with special attention to severe forms of violence and GBV among vulnerable populations. I study the impact of GBV on survivors, survivors’ recovery process (e.g., coping strategies, help-seeking experiences), and the implementation of evidence-based interventions.
Professional Interests:
