Research Note: Making ConnectionsBuilding Bridges: Research into ActionTen Years of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit
Summary
This paper is an overview of the work and perspective of the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit at the University of North London between 1987 and 1997. It has involved much summarizing and selection, and inevitably means some areas have been neglected, others emphasised. Rather than offer a bland outline of the work we have done, we have chosen to use this opportunity to reflect on and analyse the contribution of CWASU to feminist approaches to violence against women and children.
