Taylor June, a current Susan L. Huntington Dean's Distinguished University Fellow, is a Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University's Department of Sociology. Her research focuses on the prevention and mitigation of violence against vulnerable populations within a broad framework.

Her ongoing projects encompass the examination of the impact of natural disasters and extreme weather events on sexual and gender-based violence, as well as missing persons; the analysis of decision-making by court actors in cases of biased homicide; and the study of the infiltration of the alt-right into educational institutions.
