DV/IPV Sexual Assault

Since Last We Spoke, 10/28/13

So Anaheim was a fabulous, if somewhat manic busy week. It’s always fun to teach with my partner; it’s always fun spending time with people I talk to regularly, but rarely see; and it’s particularly fun meeting new folks (and folks I have met virtually, but never in person). Thanks to all of you who came and found me during the week–everywhere I went there were FHO readers telling me about how they use the site (love).  But now it’s back to my regular world, and an unexpected week at home after a trial settled at the last minute, so let me fill you in on what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:
