Patricia is a Latina scholar with a focus on expanding power, agency and access to opportunities for those who have been historically disempowered, oppressed and displaced, especially in, but not limited to, the Global South.
Her interdisciplinary work unites two strands of inquiry: urban grassroots efforts confronting urban inequalities, dispossession, and oppression and the processes and policies that have created them.
