Tiffany Dovydaitis is a pre-doctoral fellow in the Center for Health Equity and a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. Overall, her research interests lie at the intersection between women's and immigrant health, specifically reproductive health, sexual violence, and trafficking issues. Her current work is focused on Mexican women's stories of intimate partner sexual violence within the context of economic migration. She has worked as part of a community-based project in Oregon looking at the problem of workplace sexual violence among indigenous farmworkers and has  partnered with 'El Comite de Apoyo a las Trabajadores Agricolas' (The Farmworker Support Committee) in Southern New Jersey, conducting oral histories of farmworker women.

Health Equity Research

Her future goals include a continued commitment to eliminating health disparities and seeking social justice for immigrant women through a program of scholarly inquiry and community-based action research. In 2008 she received the Mary Louise Brown Research Award at the AAOHN National Conference, and the 2008 Alice Paul Award, a prestigious annual award given to students who have demonstrated outstanding service to women in the Penn community.
