About Us

Our Approach & Services

The SWIRL is a place where student and faculty scholars from all disciplines (undergraduate through doctoral studies, as well as junior faculty members) can come together to receive mentoring from established scholars in the fields of Global Social Work, Public Health, Nursing, Medicine, Women’s Studies, Psychology, and Education. As a Lab, we undertake new research projects and capacity-building work based on our members’ interests and based on the societal needs relating to social justice and human rights, with a specific focus on gendered vulnerability and coercive control of women, adolescents, and children in resource constrained settings.
