Research in the violence against women area has been undertaken for more than 30 years, but individual researchers who have made these scholarly contributions have not been advantaged by adequate attention, funding, or organizational structure within the university setting. This article offers a detailed description of a model of an interdisciplinary research center designed to provide an academic architecture within which research on intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other forms of violence against women can flourish and advance. The article describes the impetus for creation of the University of Kentucky Center for Research on Violence Against Women, its current mission, organizational structure, financial operations, and initiatives related to research, education, and public service. Practical strategies for establishing and sustaining a center of this type are offered.
对妇女暴力问题的研究已经开展了 30 多年，但在大学环境中，做出这些学术贡献的个别研究人员并没有得到足够的关注、资金或组织结构的支持。本文详细描述了一个跨学科研究中心的模式，该模式旨在提供一个学术架构，使亲密伴侣暴力、性侵犯、跟踪和其他形式的暴力侵害妇女行为的研究能够蓬勃发展并取得进展。本文描述了肯塔基大学暴力侵害妇女问题研究中心成立的动力、其当前使命、组织结构、财务运作以及与研究、教育和公共服务相关的举措。还提供了建立和维持这类中心的实用策略。
