March 08, 2021 March 11, 1 p.m. COVID-19 has impacted our lives in many ways. Alongside disruption of education and employment, surveys have shown surges in gun sales and increased reports of domestic violence. Has the pandemic also made American society more violent? Why, and who is most at risk?
Join us this Thursday to discuss these questions with two UC Davis experts on different aspects of violence in society.
Clare Cannon is assistant professor of community and regional development in the Department of Human Ecology at UC Davis. Her research covers the intersection of social inequality, health and environmental justice. With colleagues at Tulane University in New Orleans, Cannon has surveyed working people about their emotional and mental health during the pandemic. In recently published results, they found that the stress and social isolation of the pandemic may be putting more people at risk of domestic violence.
