Patricia works across the fields of Philosophy, Justice Health, Criminology, and Social Sciences. She has worked in multidisciplinary research teams focused on social justice, and improving outcomes in education and health for marginalised members of society. These include female, male, transgender and nonbinary sex workers, women living with HIV, older people suffering isolation and discrimination, violent men, nurses experiencing burnout, and students at risk of suicide. In this, and all of her work Patricia seeks to provide holistic understandings of the phenomena under study by revealing the impacts of participants’ phenomenological experience on their motivations and actions.
