The gap between research on sexual assault and the lived experiences of gender-based violence survivors and the professionals who serve them can sometimes feel like a chasm. In an era of big data and evidence-based practices, many may feel pressure to include researchers in projects regarding sexual assault investigations, prosecutions, and service delivery. However, an important question must be asked, will this relationship benefit the practitioners and/or the survivors they serve? Drawing from their experiences as an applied researcher and a communication and marketing specialist in an applied research center, the presenters will walk through fundamental aspects of research, developing research questions, and determining if a particular researcher or research team is a good fit for your multidisciplinary team.
Researchers can add value to a multidisciplinary team for the same reason it is sometimes hard to incorporate them – their outsider perspective. By walking through real examples of research-practitioner projects, the presenters will discuss how the projects were conducted, how to tap into wider audiences, and how to communicate findings in meaningful ways to your audiences, including policymakers and institutional leadership. By choosing researchers from disciplines who add value to your work, together you can both make meaningful and strategic contributions to our understanding and response to gender-based violence and gain valuable insights for your team as well.
