What do you hope to achieve during your postgraduate study at Birmingham?
My motivation for pursuing a PhD in the area of social and cultural values and domestic abuse is a strong blend of personal interest and a dedication to bringing about significant change. Domestic abuse is a widespread problem that affects many lives and is frequently concealed behind closed doors. My mission is to further knowledge of this intricate phenomenon, stand up for the silently suffering, and work towards building a society that is more compassionate and knowledgeable. Having grown up in a quiet, oppressive little town, I hope my research will be seen by a wider audience and help to advance the development of social intervention strategies that will end violence against women in my state.
