We hope these sessions and opportunities for discussion will lead to collaborations and collegial relationships that allow our scholarship to have a wider reach. In addition to the four formal sessions, the TIG has also organized a wrap-up session and a TIG meeting for members and interested conference attendees to meet up and network. We have practitioners and NGO activists, and the institutions represented range from community colleges, and professional schools to research universities and liberal arts colleges. We have this year with us undergraduate and graduate students, as well as university faculty at the assistant, associate and full professor level. What is exciting from the standpoint of the TIG is how many new members are joining the panels and the institutions they represent. This incredible range of issues and case studies demonstrates how far the study of gender-based violence in anthropology has come since the initial papers offered by Dorothy Counts and her colleagues at an Association of Social Anthropologists of Oceania meeting back in 1989. Scholars are addressing such issues as refugee status, food security, trafficking, child abuse, abortion, medical and other health encounters, HIV, and courtroom dynamics, to provide just a sample of paper topics. The two days of panels bring together case studies from China, Mexico, Malawai, Brazil, the United States, Afghanistan, Kenya, and Guatemala. The lineup for the 2014 panels devoted to understanding and ending gender-based violence is impressive and brings together the greatest range of topics and perspectives to date.

From our humble beginnings, where Jan Brunson was the only member in attendance at our 2009 meeting, to 2013 with over 100 different members attended our sessions and TIG meeting, the GBV-TIG has strived to be a welcoming and inclusive group to foster collaborations, support, and friendship for students, practitioners and teachers alike. As co-chairs of the TIG, we are simultaneously astonished and equally pleased at the growth of the TIG. The 2014 meetings will provide an unprecedented opportunity for genderbased violence scholars to share their research and network with each other. Haldane Quinnipiac University The Gender-Based Violence Topical Interest Group formed in 2007, and we have had the privilege of organizing sessions at the annual Society for Applied Anthropology meetings around this issue for the past several years.
