Biography

As a social scientist and mixed methods researcher, the primary focus of Dr. Fleckman's work is the prevention of violence. Her current focus is the evaluation of mechanisms for the prevention of family violence, including child maltreatment and intimate partner violence,  and sexual violence from a health equity lens. Much of her work contributes to better understanding the role that larger structural and community-level factors and processes may play in shaping rates of violence, and how such factors can be influenced to reduce risk for violence and promote well-being. 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 with the support of Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago.
