Nancy Nason-Clark

Nancy Nason-Clark is a prominent sociologist and the Director of the Department of Sociology at the University of New Brunswick in Canada. She specializes in issues related to violence against women and the role of faith institutions in perpetuating such violence. Nason-Clark's research highlights how institutional responses often prioritize the protection of leaders over the safety of victims, coining the term 'institutional silencing' to describe this phenomenon. Her work aims to educate spiritual leaders about the implications of their justifications for violence and the importance of addressing these issues within their communities.
