Dr Natasha Mulvihill teaches Criminology at the University of Bristol and is head of the Centre for Gender and Violence Research. The running thread through her work is sex, power and harm. She has written on the sex industry, as well as on domestic and sexual violence and coercion, and is interested in intersections with faith, popular culture, technology. More recently, she has been developing work on the relationship between professional authority and sexual coercion. In November 2022, she was awarded a European Research Council Starting Grant to look at ‘high status’/’high public trust’ professionals (including doctors and psychologists) who perpetrate sexual violence and abuse against adults. This is a five year programme of work starting 2023.
