My name is Kathy Blake and I am the Constituent Response Specialist for the Texas Council on Family Violence. Every year, we compile an annual report showing the number of women killed in Texas due to family violence. Our report is released in October for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In tracking this information, we track certain details in order to personalize these horrific tragedies. I have attached our most recent report. They can also be accessed through the following link www.tcfv.org. We look for the following information:

Her name, age, and date of birth
Her location
The name of the person who murdered her and what became of him/her
The manner of death and the date that it occurred
If she is survived by anyone
If she had a protective order in place

Last year, we lost 111 women due to family violence. We receive our statistical information from the Department of Public Safety along with individualized research. We compile the information and enter it into our Access program for tracking. Since it is such a large task, we rely on the assistance of volunteers and interns. I am reaching out to you today to see if you know of any students within your department that would be available to assist the Texas Council Family Violence with this project. Any amount of time would be greatly appreciated and the students would be able to work on this within our office based in Austin with supervision. If they are unable to commute, I can certainly work out a scenario where they can work on this project remotely. Ideally, I would be able to start with students in May of this year. The students would assist me in compiling the information, adding it to our databases and writing narratives.

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully collaborating with you. I have a fondness for Women’s and Gender Studies departments since I received my MA from Rutgers University under the supervision of Elizabeth Grosz. It was such an amazing and life altering experience. It truly shaped the career paths I have chosen and enhanced the work that I do.
