Ravi Thiara is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. Her main interest lies in the area of gendered violence and social change, through research and activism. Her research explores and theorises the intersection of violence, gender and inequality-marginality (‘race’/ethnicity and disability). Her expertise in gendered violence and racialised communities, disability and domestic violence, and child contact in contexts of violence has provided much needed evidence to improve policy and practice.
