Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization

Legacies of Wartime Sexual Violence: Survivors, Psychological Harms, and Mobilization By Summer Lindsey, Rutgers University and Carlo Koos, University of Bergen What are the psychological, social, and political legacies of sexual violence in armed conflicts? While conventional wisdom expects the exclusion of survivors from their societies due to stigma, we advance a theory of sociopolitical mobilization among wartime sexual violence survivors and their households.

A huge loss not just for research, but also for the police and citizens worldwide who will lose out on the training, knowledge, and decreased violence this research focuses on.

Sabrina Karim@sabrinamkarim.bsky.social · last yr.

Today, I received a termination for my National Science Foundation CAREER Grant, which employed a post-doc and many undergraduate research assistants.

It's hard to find the words. NSF just terminated the grant for Journeys, a mentoring workshop that tried to tackle underrepresentation of women in international relations. Future scholarship will be the worse for it. But this photo from our last gathering will motivate me to keep fighting.

Excited to share that this paper is now forthcoming at the Journal of Politics. It has been a looooooong journey (5 years in the making)! Too many people to thank but most importantly my advisors, three anonymous reviewers and the people of Bihar - forever indebted to their generosity. #gendersky

I’m new here & thought I'd share a snippet of my work! In this working paper I use a face-to-face survey exp, an original survey and a panel to show that the male migration disrupts the household status quo by creating the routine absence of men leading to the feminization of political engagement.

Information for the 2025 Journeys in World Politics workshop: www.saramitchell.org/journeysflye... Applications due on 5/30 for the workshop held at the U of Iowa on 8/24-8/26. Our senior mentors are Kathleen Cunningham & Leah Windsor, along with Kelly Kadera, Jessica Weeks, Christina Schneider.
