Hello, a bit about me:

Kelsey Drotning is a fourth year PhD student in the Sociology department where she studies discrimination, social disadvantage, and institutional violence at the intersection of race and gender. She participates in the Critical Race Initiative, and is on the steering committee for SocArXiv. Her dissertation examines how cultural understandings of sexual violence are shifting through the lens of motherhood. Her other work examines social isolation and racial disparities using time diary data. Prior to attending the University of Maryland, Kelsey worked as a Program Assistant for the National Center for Victims of Crime in Washington, DC where she drafted training materials and compiled resources for advocates regarding crime victim compensation, stalking, and domestic violence. In her free time she enjoys hiking, reading novels, quilting, and exploring the East Coast.
