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. As an interdisciplinary scholar, she integrates insights from diverse disciplines to address complex societal challenges. 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.
