Allison Brachmann is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ in Social Work. She studies gender-based violence among college students, LGBTQA+ folks, and employees in the university environment. Her research has primarily focused on college sexual violence survivors’ barriers to accessing campus resources. Throughout her research, she has analyzed large datasets with advanced quantitative techniques, including factor analysis, latent class analysis, multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, and intersectional quantitative methods. She uses Stata, SPSS, and R statistical software packages. Brachmann’s professional experience as a survivor advocate, violence prevention educator, and Title IX co-investigator greatly informs her research on gender-based violence. Her practice experience working directly with survivors also grounds her research in the unique and varied experiences of every individual who experiences violence. Her experience as an advocate, connecting survivors to community and campus resources and supporting them through often retraumatizing adjudication processes, informs her research on the many justifiable reasons most survivors do not contact campus resources.
