Dr. Valdovinos’ educational training in social welfare, psychology, public health, and gender studies informs her research addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences in Latinx families and the exclusion of Latinx undocumented immigrants (those without legal authorization to reside in the U.S.) from social service provisions. Her practice experience in various domestic violence agencies and the juvenile probation system inspire her dedication to investigate interpersonal violence issues affecting Latinx immigrant women, children and families. A primary goal of her research is to develop multi-pronged (individual, family and community-based) culturally-responsive intervention programs that address the effects of IPV on Latinx immigrants, while considering systemic constraints such as institutional racism and poverty.
