Hello, let's get to
know each other
I am Catherine, a researcher in domestic violence
My experiences in research and popularization of science are rooted in the field of social services, more specifically in that of domestic violence.
In my work, projects and collaborations, I have been interested in the notion of moral disengagement. I have studied the social mechanisms of concealment of domestic violence (Romito, 2018) in the context of youth protection in Quebec. I have also explored the concept of coercive control (Stark, 2007) from the perspective of women victims of domestic violence whose spouse (or ex-spouse) had participated in an intervention program for perpetrators of domestic violence in Quebec.
In the coming years, for my doctoral project, I would like to study in more depth certain elements linked to the notion of coercive control.
