A duo-ethnographic exploration of co-producing sexual violence research with a victim-survivor academic

Co-production initiatives involving victim-survivors offer a promising approach for achieving translational research outcomes. This study examines the experiences encountered when co-producing research with an academic who discloses being a survivor of sexual violence during a project, which was externally funded. Drawing on duo-ethnography,…

This article explores factors that influence survivors’ decision-making when they participate in research interviews. Methods: Sixteen survivors of intimate partner strangulati…
