Olubunmi Basirat Oyewuwo, PhD, LMSW is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Northeastern Illinois University. Her research agenda focuses on improving the health and well-being outcomes of women, as well as Black, Muslim, and immigrant communities. She has led projects examining the intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences of American Muslims, including a qualitative study examining how the intersectionality of race, gender, and religion shape Black Muslim women’s IPV coping processes using an ethnically diverse sample. She is currently the PI of a national survey that examines American Muslims’ experiences and perceptions of IPV. This research is being conducted in collaboration with Peaceful Families Project (PFP), a national organization that provides education and training on domestic violence to the American Muslim community.
Prior to pursuing her PhD, her practice experience included working in a domestic violence shelter as a legal advocate and in a battering intervention and prevention program as a group facilitator. Dr. Oyewuwo has taught across social work programs, curriculum areas, and modalities. She currently serves as the curriculum specialist for the NEIU BSW research sequence.
