Degree Program Studies Vulnerability, Violence ReductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has thrown violence into the foreground that has simmered below the surface for too long: race-based violence, domestic violence, political violence, and beyond. The pandemic has also underscored the lack of trust between individuals, communities, and citizens and governments.
