Christine Margaret Blasey Ford (known professionally as Christine Blasey[5]) (born November 1966[4]) is an American psychologist and professor of statistics at Palo Alto University.[3] Widely published in her field,[7][8] she specializes in designing statistical models for research projects.[9] During her academic career, Ford has worked as a research psychologist for Stanford University's Department of Psychiatry and a professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine Collaborative Clinical Psychology Program.[1]

On September 16, 2018, she publicly alleged that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in 1982, in what she described as an attempted rape.[7]

Early life and education

Ford spent her early life in Maryland, near Washington, D.C., where she attended a private university-preparatory school.[8][10][11] While on her regional sports team for diving, she accompanied diver Greg Louganis on a trip to the White House to discuss the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott.[11] She graduated in 1984 from Holton-Arms School in Bethesda, Maryland.[8][12][13]

She earned an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1988.[5][1] She received a master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine University.[14][15] In 2009, she garnered a master's degree in epidemiology, with a focus on the subject of biostatistics, from Stanford University.[16] She has a Ph.D. in educational psychology from the University of Southern California.[14][15][17] Her 1995 dissertation was entitled Measuring Young Children's Coping Responses to Interpersonal Conflict.[18]

Career

Ford began teaching at Stanford University in 1988.[19] She works at Palo Alto University teaching students clinical trial design and data analysis.[14] She participates in educational programs with the Stanford University School of Medicine as a member of a consortium group with Palo Alto University.[8][14][19] Through this consortium group, called the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology (PGSP), Ford teaches subjects including psychometrics, study methodologies, and statistics.[8][11] She performed consulting work for multiple pharmaceutical companies.[20] Ford worked as the director of biostatistics at Corcept Therapeutics, and collaborated with FDA statisticians.[18] Ford is widely published within her field.[8][7]

Ford "specializes in designing statistical models for research projects in order to make sure they come to accurate conclusions," as summarized by Helena Chmura Kraemer, a Stanford professor emeritus in biostatistics who co-authored a book and several articles with Ford.[9] Ford has written or co-written several books about psychological topics, including depression.[15] Her other research topics published in academic journal articles have included child abuse and the September 11 attacks.[15][19] In 2015, she co-authored a book entitled How Many Subjects? Statistical Power Analysis in Research.[15][21] Ford's research into the social impact of hiding one's sexual orientation was published in 2016 in the journal Behavior Therapy, and reviewed by psychologist William Gibson of the American Psychological Association, who found their research "demonstrates that issues of identity have relevance to mental health outcomes in ways that much of previous work misses."[22]

Sexual assault allegation against Brett Kavanaugh

See also: Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination

In early July 2018, after Judge Brett Kavanaugh was reported to be on the shortlist to become an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ford contacted both The Washington Post via a tip line and her Representative Anna Eshoo.[7] On July 20, after Kavanaugh became the nominee, Eshoo met with Ford, becoming convinced of her credibility and noting that Ford seemed "terrified" that her identity as an accuser might become public. Thereafter, Eshoo and Ford mutually decided to take the matter to Senator Dianne Feinstein, one of Ford's Senators in California and the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would deliberate Kavanaugh's nomination.[23] In a letter to Feinstein, Ford alleged that Brett Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when both were in high school, and stated that she expected her story to be kept confidential.[7][24] In August, Ford took a polygraph test with a former FBI agent, who concluded Ford was being truthful when attesting to the accuracy of her allegations.[7]

Owing to her confidentiality commitment to Ford,[25] Feinstein did not raise the issue in the initial Kavanaugh confirmation proceedings.[26] On September 12, The Intercept reported (without naming Ford) that Feinstein was withholding a Kavanaugh-related document from fellow Judiciary Committee Democrats.[27] Feinstein then referred Ford's letter to the FBI, which redacted Ford's name and forwarded the letter to the White House[7] as an update to Kavanaugh's background check.[28] The White House in turn sent the letter to the full Senate Judiciary Committee.[7]

On September 16, 2018, after media reported anonymous allegations and reporters started to track down her identity, Ford went public.[29] Ford had wrestled with the choice to make her identity known, weighing the potential negative impact it could have on her,[30][31] but ultimately spoke to The Washington Post, alleging that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in the summer of 1982 when she was 15 and he was 17.[32][33][34] She said that, with another boy watching, Kavanaugh, intoxicated, held her down on a bed with his body, grinding against and groping her, covering her mouth when she tried to scream and trying to pull her clothes off.[35][36] She recounted escaping when the second boy jumped on them both and they all fell.[7] As corroboration of her account, Ford provided The Post with the polygraph as well as session notes from her therapist written in 2012.[7] The therapist's notes do not name Kavanaugh but record Ford's claim of being attacked by students "from an elitist boys' school" who went on to become "highly respected and high-ranking members of society in Washington". The therapist's notes also say four boys were involved, which Ford attributed to an error by the therapist; Ford said in 2018 that four boys were at the party but only two were involved in the incident.[7] Ford's husband recalled that she had used Kavanaugh's last name in her 2012 description of the incident.[7] Kavanaugh has categorically denied Ford's allegations.[37] Ford retained civil rights lawyer Debra Katz to represent her in the process of going public with her statements about Kavanaugh.[11][29]

On September 18, Ford's attorneys sent a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley requesting that the FBI investigate the incident before the Senate holds a hearing on Ford's allegations to "ensure that the crucial facts and witnesses in this matter are assessed in a non-partisan manner, and that the Committee is fully informed before conducting any hearing or making any decisions." The letter additionally noted the significant public support Ford had received, but also severe harassment including death threats, forcing her to leave her home.[38] The same day, a crowdfunding campaign was created to defray Ford's security costs, surpassing its $100,000 goal in less than 24 hours.[39]

On September 21, President Trump tweeted about Ford, saying that if Ford's allegations were true, either she or her parents would have reported them at the time of the event.[40] Fortune called the tweet an attempt "to undermine her allegation"[41] and Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), considered a key swing vote on Kavanaugh's nomination, said she is "appalled" by Trump's tweet, calling it "inappropriate and wrong."[42] Trump issued several more statements, including a tweet in which he wrote that the claims came from "radical left-wing" politicians and lawyers, and asked, "Why didn't someone call the FBI 36 years ago?"[43]

Personal life

Ford lives in Palo Alto, California, with her husband Russell Ford, whom she married in 2002, and two sons.[8][9][14] She is a registered Democrat.[10][11][44] She attended the 2017 Women's March and the March for Science.[8][11] According to the Federal Election Commission, she has made campaign contributions totaling $80.50, which included donations to the Democratic National Committee and Friends of Bernie Sanders.[45] Ford is the aunt of actress and singer Bridgit Mendler.[40]
