As part of the International Sociological Association’s IV (Virtual) Forum on Sociology, Prof. Sylvia Walby, City, University of London (UK) and University of Guelph Sociology Prof. Myrna Dawson co-organized several sessions for the new thematic group Violence & Society as well as the research committee Deviance and Control. Focusing on trends in interpersonal violence as well as a specific emphasis on gender-based violence and femicide, the three sessions attracted presenters from Brazil, Canada, Italy, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Dawson and Walby are co-organizers and interim presidents for the newly formed thematic group on violence.
