Paige Patchin

Dr. Paige Patchin is a Lecturer at University College London's Faculty of Arts & Humanities, based at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre. Her feminist geography research investigates power structures in biological, health, and earth sciences with critical focus on race, empire, and reproduction.

She earned her PhD in Geography from the University of British Columbia and previously worked in research development at the University of Nottingham. Her research spans infectious disease, race and empire, genetics, epigenetics, reproductive health, and the Anthropocene, currently developing a book on the Zika public health emergency between Puerto Rico and the United States.

Her publications in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers and Annals of the American Association of Geographers reveal consistent thematic threads: the intersection of public health emergencies with colonial power structures, feminist critiques of biopolitics, and analyses of how race and gender shape scientific discourse in the Anthropocene.

• Co-editor of ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies

Dr. Patchin maintains active office hours during term time (Tuesdays 4-5:30pm, Thursdays 12-1:30pm) in Room 14 of UCL's Wilkins Building, contributing to critical geography scholarship through her affiliation with the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism, Heritages and Social Justice.
