Purcell, Natalie
Email:  npurcell@ucsc.edu
Office:  College 8, Rm. 211
Research Focus:  My work focuses on intimacy and violence, with special attention to the social and psychological correlates of sexual violence. My recent research has centered on representations of sexual violence, especially in pornography and in misogynistic subcultures. Although grounded in feminist theoretical approaches, my work is highly interdisciplinary, blending psychoanalytic, macro-sociological, micro-sociological, and criminological approaches to the study of violence.
