Esprene Liddell-Quintyn, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at Rutgers University, School of Public Health. She currently leads the methodological development and implementation of qualitative research projects focused on better understanding gun violence with an emphasis on interpersonal violence. Her specific research interest examines the intersection of intimate partner violence and firearms among African American, Caribbean, and immigrant women. Liddell-Quintyn intentionally moves beyond traditional research approaches that rely on intrapsychic treatment models. She instead focuses on conducting research in partnership with communities to co-create systemic solutions that target intimate partner violence among people of color. As a community-engaged scholar (CES), she uses Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) to ground her work. In doing so, she works with communities instead of on communities.
