Since coming to the HIV Center in 2002, Dr. Dworkin's
research centers on how gender inequalities and
privileges shape HIV risks. Her work focuses on gender,
power, and the distribution and control of economic
resources in heterosexual relationships, the
relationship between structural and interpersonal
power, and how these factors differentially impact
women's and men's HIV risks. She also examines how
sociocultural practices, including sexual scripts, are
enacted and can be changed to modify HIV risks. Her
current and future research fleshes out the
relationship between sexual and economic empowerment
and she seeks to intervene on HIV/AIDS vulnerabilities
through integrated microenterprise and HIV/AIDS
prevention programs. Dr. Dworkin is author or coauthor
of several articles and chapters on gender, sexuality,
and the body, is on the editorial board for Social
Problems, Archives of Sexual Behavior, and Gender &
Society, and remains an active reviewer for several
health, sociological, sexuality, and gender-related
journals.
