CORT First Friday Webinar (on Thursday): Understanding "Coerced Debt"

Description

Please join us on Thursday, November 4th, (**Please note the new date) for a CORT webinar: Understanding "Coerced Debt"

Presenter: Professor Adrienne Adams, PhD

This session will provide an overview of coerced debt, emerging evidence, and relevant

law (and gaps in the law) with the purpose of creating common language/understanding

about coerced debt. The presenter will also share and facilitate conversation about

emerging issues in coerced debt.

Professor Adams is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology and a

member of the Research Consortium on Gender-based Violence at Michigan State

University. Her research focuses on economic justice for survivors of intimate partner

abuse. Currently, Adrienne is exploring the problem of coerced debt, a form of

economic abuse that occurs when an abuser generates debt in their partner’s name via

fraud or coercion.
