Case Study:
Congratulations!
You were recently awarded a grant in partnership with a Black women-led domestic violence coalition to study the impact of racism on gender-based violence outcomes for Black women and girls living in Chicago.
The study is intended to inform place-based, race-conscious solutions to racial and gender-based violence prevention.
Discussion Questions:
Conceptualize: What theories or frameworks would you use to support your conceptualization of race, racism, and racial health inequities in gender-based violence outcomes?
Operationalize: What level(s) of racism would you focus on? How would you measure the impact of racism on Black women and girl’s health outcomes?
Collect and Analyze: What qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methodologies would you use to collect and analyze data in your study?
Contextualize and Report: What role does context (e.g., temporal, geographic, social, cultural, political) play in your study? How would you incorporate context in your final study report?
