Her research focuses on elucidating the ecological and demographic correlates and causes of gender-biased outcomes, with a particular focus on the role of marriage practices, such as cousin marriage. Of key interest to this research is how kinship intensity can alter the intensity of different forms of evolutionary conflicts such as sexual, parent-offspring, and sibling-sibling conflict. Her work is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from global health, genetics, evolutionary biology, and anthropology. In this episode, we talk about violence against women across human societies. We start by discussing how prevalent it is, and the different types of violence against women, including intimate-partner, sexual, and honor-based violence. We talk about the link between kinship intensity and evolutionary conflict, including sexual, parent-offspring, and sibling-sibling conflict. We discuss the link between marriage practices and gender-biased outcomes, and the link between cousin marriage and honor-based violence. Finally, we talk about the evolution of patriarchy, and Dr. Campbell’s current work.--A HUGE THANK YOU
