Bisola-Mariam’s Impact Areas
How I impact my world.
As a researcher, I constantly employ my background in classical and communication studies, with my interdisciplinary research, at the intersections of social work and law.
Overall, I constantly employ my diverse academic and professional experiences to understand one thing: In what ways do social and legal systems perpetuate abuse, violence, or retraumatize vulnerable people?
My research works have explored:
- How religious and cultural diffusion of Egyptian Isis religion and Christianity, and how these processes engendered violence in ancient history;
- The co-cultural communication practices of African survivors of domestic violence interacting with American counselors;
- Autoethnographic research on intergenerational trauma in families;
- Social and Legal Service Providers and Truth Default Theory: What Do Service Providers believe about domestic violence?
