THEY FOCUS ON PREVENTION AND RELATE TO THE PROGRAMMING AND IMPORTANT WORK WE DO AT THE FOUNDATION. MS. KAMILLA BONNESON (GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY) HAS TWO PRIMARY AIMS FOR HER STUDY WHICH ARE TO UNDERSTAND AND COMBAT CYBER-SEXUAL VIOLENCE. THIS STUDY WILL ADDRESS THE PRESSING ISSUE OF NON-CONSENSUAL DISSEMINATION OF INTIMATE IMAGES (NCII), A FORM OF CYBER-SEXUAL VIOLENCE. MR. ANDREA MARIANI'S (KINSEY INSTITUTE AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY-BLOOMINGTON) PROJECT INVOLVES EMPIRICALLY TESTING THE VALIDITY OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONSTRUCT OF HIMPATHY. HE WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT HIMPATHY EXISTS AND CAN BE ALTERED THROUGH EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS IN ORDER TO HELP CREATE CAMPUS CLIMATES IN WHICH VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ARE BETTER SUPPORTED AND THUS FEEL SAFER COMING FORWARD AND REPORTING. WE BELIEVE THESE ARE BOTH TRULY WORTHWHILE RESEARCH PROJECTS AND ARE EXCITED TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS.
