Anna E. Bender (Social Welfare, MSASS)

Freedman Student Fellow 2019–2020


Anna Bender MSW, LSW is a Doctoral candidate at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences. Her grant research explores how witnessing intimate partner violence affects children’s development, what factors promote resilience in trauma-exposed youth, and the protective role of sibling relationships in the aftermath. This project involves analyzing video recordings of sibling interactions through the novel approach of mobilizing qualitative data analysis software to code audio/video data of sibling interactions following a devised coding protocol.
