Biography

As a social scientist and mixed methods researcher, the primary focus of Dr. Fleckman's work is the prevention of violence. Her current emphasis is evaluating mechanisms for the prevention of family violence and sexual violence. Much of her work contributes to better understanding the role larger structural and community-level factors and processes may play in shaping behavior, and how such factors can be influenced to improve well-being and reduce risk for violence. She is actively involved in collaboration with local and national community-based groups and advocacy organizations. Prior to joining as faculty, Dr. Fleckman completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Department of Global Community Health and Behavioral Sciences with the support of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago.
