Catie interviews Dr. Chiara Sabina, Associate Professor in the Rutgers University School of Social Work
and Associate Director of the Center for Research on Ending Violence in the Rutgers University School of Social Work. Dr. Sabina, whose work primarily focuses on the Latinx population, shares with Catie her
passion for bringing more diversity into the field of gender-based violence. The two discuss the
importance of prevention and intervention that account for the intersections of identity and reach
populations that have been historically oppressed and underserved. Dr. Sabina also discusses the
potential long-term implications of her current study with local domestic violence survivors in Quito,
Ecuador using integrative community therapy, which she describes as a culturally congruent, non-
hierarchical dialogue circle, group-based approach.
