Violence

Kathryn Holland is the director of the Sexual Assault and Sexual Health (SASH) Lab, where she and others study a variety of issues related to sexual assault and sexual health—with the goal of helping people, especially women, live safer and healthier lives. An assistant professor within both the Department of Psychology and the Department of Women and Gender Studies, Holland joined the university faculty in 2017. She works within both disciplines to investigate how people’s health and wellbeing are influenced by their social environments, focussing on formal support systems, social norms, and interpersonal processes.
