The official podcast of UC’s College of Education, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Information Technology, “CECH Chats” is a place for discussion with faculty about their ongoing research, chats with students about the work they’re doing in CECH, conversations with staff members about the important administrative work supporting the college and more.
On the debut episode of “CECH Chats,” we hear from faculty members and students from the School of Criminal Justice about their work under a Department of Justice/Office of Violence Against Women grant awarded in 2024. The project, titled “Language Access Barriers to Justice Among Victims of Violence Against Women with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities,” aims to collect data through interviews and focus groups around the experiences victims with intellectual and or developmental disabilities, aka IDD, face when reporting violent crimes.
While future episodes of “CECH Chats” will focus primarily on one-on-one or small group conversations, for this debut episode, we have something special: A wide-ranging presentation moderated by project lead, associate professor Brittany Hayes, featuring co-principal investigators Ráchael Powers, also an associate professor in the School of Criminal Justice, and associate professor Amanda Simmons from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders in UC’s College of Allied Health Sciences. We also heard from co-investigator Leigh Anne McKingsley from the ARC’s National Center on Criminal Justice and Disability. The ARC is a national organization that promotes and protects the human rights of individuals with IDD.
Students at the undergraduate, master’s and doctorate levels involved in various stages of the grant-funded work are also included in this conversation.
