The Double Jeopardy Study examines intersections of sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH), and anti-Asian racism and discrimination (in both covert and overt forms) that University of California (UC) students from Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) communities have experienced.

 

We utilize mixed methods including 1) surveys and semi-structured in-depth interviews and 2) two transmedia storytelling methods including photo-voice and installation art.

 

We assess types of SVSH and gendered microaggressions against ANHPI women, and mental and physical health among ANHPI undergraduate and graduate students. We also examine changes after COVID-19 pandemic. Our research methods are informed by intersectional, community engaged frameworks guided by trauma-informed practices and survivor-centered principles.
