Brief Bio:
Jhumka Gupta, Sc.D., M.P.H., graduated in 2007 from Harvard School of Public Health with a major in Social Epidemiology and minors in Research Methods and Gender, Violence and Human Rights. Her research interests lie in the arenas of gender-based violence, immigration, sex trafficking, and sexual risk. Her dissertation research examined the following issues:
  1. the effects of being an immigrant on male perpetrated intimate partner violence,
  2. the effects of political violence exposure on men's perpetration of intimate partner violence, and
  3. a national prevalence study of men's perpetration of intimate partner violence in South Africa.
Jhumka also has extensive international experience where she conducted research on HIV and sex trafficking in South Asia, developed a gender and health curriculum for adolescents in Mumbai, India, and managed a women's health program in rural Haiti.
