Gender Inequality, Homophobia and Violence: the three pillars of patriarchal norms and attitudes and their relations

In her research, she studied how attitudes to gender (in)equality, heteronormativity and various types of violence are related to each other, with specific attention to the relations between patriarchal attitudes and violent conflict, next to the more often studied relations between patriarchy and violence against women and gay men.

She presents her research in three separate (journal) articles, each focusing on a specific theme:

• the first addresses relations between attitudes to gender (in)equality and violent conflict
• the second addresses relations between homophobia and various types of violence, including armed conflict
• the third explores how attitudes to gender equality, homosexuality and various types of violence are related
