Description: This panel explores various ways trauma-informed research shapes our understanding of phenomena across the life course. Specifically, the papers in this panel will examine trauma related to victimization, childhood sexual experiences and PTSD, intimate partner violence, military veteran's exposure to violence, and older women's experiences of homelessness. These papers interrogate the relationship between trauma and the life course to consider its impact among diverse populations and across diverse social issues.
