Patricia Foxen
Patricia Foxen (Ph.D. 2002, McGill; M.P.H. 1990, Columbia) is a Research
Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University in the Anthropology
Department whose recent work has focused on migration, ethnicity,
violence, and cross-cultural health issues. Dr. Foxen's doctoral research
focused on the transnational movement of an indigenous (K'iche' Mayan)
community balanced between rural highland Guatemala and the inner city of
Providence, Rhode Island. Her post-doctoral research involves analysis of
the impact of immigration policies on the well-being of Guatemalan
immigrants in Canada and the US. She has worked with immigrant and refugee
families in the Transcultural Psychiatry Division of the Montreal
Childrens' Hospital, and is currently co-researcher on an
interdisciplinary project evaluating the decision-making process of the
Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board.
