Sameena Mulla is Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences at Marquette University. Her book, The Violence of Care: Rape Victims, Forensic Nurses, and Sexual Assault Victims, details all of the labor that forensic nurses put into examining sexual assault victims, and how victims experience the exam preceding the trials she observed with her collaborator, Heather Hlavka. She is currently working on her next project, co-authored with Hlavka, based on the courtroom ethnography of sexual assault adjudication in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Together, they observed over 630 court appearances in felony court, including 32 full sexual assault trials.
