Rebecca Patterson-Marcowitz is a feminist health geographer with an interest in embodiment as it relates to trauma, justice and healing. After completing an MA in Geography at the University of Arizona focused on the paths to justice and healing created by Guatemalan women survivors of sexualized political violence, her doctoral work takes up those same themes in the context of the US, looking at how healing frameworks are being integrated into movements for social justice and abolition. Rebecca’s research is informed by her background as a victim’s advocate, dance teacher, and training in somatics.
