Sheffield Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Research Network

The University of Sheffield Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Research (ShIVAR) network brings together researchers and practitioners across health, social sciences, arts and humanities. We believe that understanding and addressing gender-based interpersonal violence and abuse requires an interdisciplinary approach.

We develop and share theoretical, empirical and practice-based knowledge to inform research, policy and practice. The network provides a platform to exchange ideas, build connections and develop collaborative work that responds to the impacts of violence and abuse on individuals, families and communities.

We welcome academics, students, policymakers, practitioners and community members with an interest in interpersonal violence and abuse.
