 ES TO INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE\nSpeaker: Faten Khazaei\, visiting PhD stu
 dent\, Social Anthropology\n\nAbstract: \nIn the wake of the 1970s feminis
 t movements in Europe and the United States\, violence against women has b
 een recognized as a public problem\, and many countries have designed and 
 implemented public policies to combat it. While this type of violence was 
 originally understood to be intrinsically related to gender\, more recent 
 public debate in Switzerland regarding this issue has focused on migration
 .This thesis will investigate how cases of intimate partner violence (as o
 ne type of violence against women) are treated by the institutions in char
 ge of combatting it. How does the way in which this type of violence is fr
 amed shape the actions of institutional agents in their daily practices? I
 n what ways are these practices based on the types of categories assigned 
 to the beneficiaries? In other words\, what categories of difference do th
 ese institutions employ to adapt their responses in cases of intimate part
 ner violence?\n\nAbout Faten:\nFaten Khazaei is an Iranian PhD Student in 
 social Sciences at the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland.Her doctora
 l research is a multisite ethnography of State institutions in charge of t
 he struggle against domestic violence in Switzerland. She is interested in
  understanding the processes of the reproduction of “us” and “them
 ” dichotomy in the daily practices of social agents. She also conducted 
 an ethnographic study on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in Gene
 va for her Master's thesis to investigate the integration of a gender pers
 pective in the discourses and practices of international officials. She is
  now a Visiting PhD student at the Department of Social Anthropology here 
 in Cambridge.
