Is gendered violence no longer a popular research interest in Sociology?

[chimmi95]

My main research interest lies in gendered violence - currently it's male victims of domestic assault, but I can't find any faculty professors in Sociology who are researching the topic. All the professor's I come across who work in gender in Sociology, seem to focus on gender and employment/marriage. I'm not really interested in Gender Studies departments because I want a broader width of research than gender in the future. Does anyone know of any decent (not necessarily top 20) departments where there is a professor who is working on this topic? Or should I put this research on the back burner and go into a more conventional research area until later I get into a program?

They do this kind of stuff at CU Boulder. But you can study gender and violence at most any sociology department. Just frame it in such a way that it appeals to a general audience.
