Dr. Mulla has given many talks about her research over the years. She presented on her current book project on sentencing and anti-Blackness at Emory's James WeIdon Johnson Institute in November 2024. She was part of the closing round table at the 2023 Duke Feminist Theory Workshop. In October 2021, she participated in the Distinguished Lecture Series in Anthropology at the New York Academy of Sciences. In this talk, she discussed issues related to anti-Blackness, care and punishment in sex offender sentencing. She has also discussed her first book, The Violence of Care on WYPR’s Maryland Morning, explaining how the study finds that sexual assault interventions can be deeply challenging to victims’ sense of security and confidence. She was also featured in the Spotlight series for the Sexual Harms and Medical Encounters Network. She and her co-author, Heather Hlavka, appeared on the New Books Network podcast to discuss Bodies in Evidence. Mulla has also appeared on Talking Research and Imagine Otherwise.
