I am honored to be speaking today with Dr. Catherine Holland.

Dr. Holland's research investigates how people's health and

well-being are influenced by their social environments with a focus on formal support systems,

social norms, and interpersonal processes. She is primarily interested in well-being around

issues of sexual violence and sexual health.

For example, she studies the implementation, use, and effectiveness of formal support systems

for sexual assault in higher education and the military.

She researches the causes and consequences of both negative and positive interpersonal

processes, such as gendered sexual aggression and bystander intervention. Dr. Holland also

examines how social norms around gender and sexuality affect women's sexual health. As an

interdisciplinary scholar, her work is guided by

the fields of psychology, social law, community, and women's and gender studies. She's interested

in utilizing multiple research methods and using research to promote social justice and change.
