Dr. Consolvo and her collaborators have developed a framework for unifying at-risk user research, guidelines for conducting safer research that involves at-risk users, and a taxonomy of online hate and harassment. They have also investigated the digital-safety experiences of youth, online content creators, people involved with political campaigns, survivors of intimate partner abuse, people facing financial insecurity, women in South Asia, and people being targeted online with hate and harassment. Dr. Consolvo received her Ph.D. in information science from the University of Washington. She is a Certified Information Privacy Professional (United States) and a member of the Editorial Board for IEEE Security & Privacy magazine.

David Finkelhor
Professor
Director of Crimes against Children Research Center
David Finkelhor, Director of Crimes against Children Research Center, Co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory, Professor of Sociology, and University Professor, at the University of New Hampshire. I have been studying the problems of child victimization, child maltreatment and family violence since 1977. I am best known for my conceptual and empirical work on the problem of child sexual abuse, reflected in publications such as Sourcebook on Child Sexual Abuse (Sage, 1986) and Nursery Crimes (Sage, 1988). I have also written about child homicide, missing and abducted children, children exposed to domestic and peer violence, commercial sexual exploitation, and internet victimization. I am the co-founder of several large national data collection efforts including the National Survey of Children Exposed to Violence (NatSCEV) and the National Incidence Study of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway CHildren (NISMART). In my recent work, for example, my book, Child Victimization (Oxford University Press, 2008), I have tried to unify and integrate knowledge about all the diverse forms of child victimization in a field I have termed Developmental Victimology. This book received the Daniel Schneider Child Welfare Book of the Year award in 2009. Altogether, I am editor and author of 12 books and over 250 journal articles and book chapters. I have received grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, and the US Department of Justice, and a variety of other sources.

Kathryn Macapagal, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Medical Social Sciences
Feinberg School of Medicine
Associate Director, THRIVE Center, Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing
Northwestern University
Kathryn Macapagal, Ph.D., conducts translational, social–behavioral, and implementation research focused on improving the health and wellbeing of sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents and young adults. Her independent research relies on online, technology-based, and community-engaged research methods to understand sexual health and HIV prevention needs of SGM adolescents and then develop, test, and explore implementation of digital behavioral health interventions to address these needs.
Dr. Macapagal’s recent and ongoing threads of work have (1) examined awareness, knowledge, use, and preferences of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among SGM adolescents and conducted formative research on developing digital PrEP campaigns for teens; (2) explored the use of online spaces—including sexual networking applications for sexual and relationship development among SGM teens—and their clinical, educational, and technology implications; and (3) involved developing a text message–based intervention to improve HIV testing and sexual health care access among SGM teens. Earlier in her career, Dr. Macapagal focused on ethical issues in HIV prevention research among SGM adolescents, a topic that is foundational to her current research and that she continues to weave throughout her work.
Dr. Macapagal is a co-investigator on several projects where she lends her expertise on SGM adolescent sexual health; online research methods, recruitment, and intervention development; and mixed methods. Although most of her work has focused on HIV prevention in cisgender sexual minority men, she is increasingly focused on inclusion of all SGM teens in her work when possible. Dr. Macapagal is a licensed clinical psychologist with a clinical background in health psychology and serves lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning individuals and people with HIV/AIDS.
