Charlene Senn’s goal is to empower women.
The University of Windsor professor has devoted her professional life to arming women with the knowledge and tools they need to better protect themselves against sexual violence without limiting their freedom.
And it’s that work that has led to her appointment as the Canada Research Chair in this field of study.
“During my undergraduate degree I really didn’t know what I was going to do and had always thought about careers like medicine or dentistry,” Dr. Senn said.
