She’s also worked as a board member for Just Food Ottawa since 2011, striving towards vibrant, just, and sustainable food and farming systems in the region. Patricia is an associate professor and undergraduate coordinator in Environmental Studies and Human Geography at Carleton University, as well as a student advisor in that department. Her research interests include localizing food systems and sustainable community, community-university partnerships and environmental conflict and deliberative democracy.
