FIFTH WOMEN'S STUDIES RESIDENCY IN HONOR OF JUDITH GOLD STITZEL PRESENTS:

ELIZABETH MILLER, M.D., Ph.D.

"Gender Based Violence: Cultural, Political, and Clinical Considerations"

A medical anthropologist and family physician, Dr. Miller will explore clinical and cross-cultural perspectives on gender-based violence. She will discuss her research on HIV in Japan and the system of trafficking women into Japan’s sex industry and on-going research on adolescent dating violence, as well as her experiences of teaching medical students and residents about identifying intimate partner violence in clinical settings. She will examine contrasting frameworks on the problem of gender-based violence to illustrate the unintended consequences and limitations of biomedical and cultural approaches.
