Dr. Sonis is an assistant professor of Social Medicine and Family Medicine at UNC-Chapel Hill. He conducts research on the psychosocial consequences of human rights violations, and has worked with survivors from Bosnia, South Africa, United States (9/11), Vietnamese prison camps and Cambodia. He is interested in helping people move forward following traumatic events through the use of social mechanisms, such as trials and truth commissions.

On a lighter note, we’ll be also introducing Weekend Warriors , a new segment looking at the treatment and prevention of common (and not so common) sports and recreation injuries with guest contributor Dr. Ronnie Laney.
