I coined the term “wisdom work” to describe how I apply my interdisciplinary wisdom to advise organizations. I provide big-picture perspective and practical guidance. I access my diverse networks and resources. And I do it all with care and joy. Along with mindfulness and meditation, my wisdom domains include children’s, educational, bilingual and translated publishing and literature. For inquiries, please contact me. My current wisdom work:
Explorations in translation for children: I am cohost of this popular webinar series, organized by Outside In World (OIW), the foundation that I advise, and the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) at the University of Reading, England. You can view the past seminars on the CBCP’s YouTube page. I post links to upcoming webinars in Events.
Stories on the Move: I am a consultant for this groundbreaking University of Reading CBCP research and practice project on translated literature for young people and languages education in the UK (website forthcoming), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Outside In World: I am a long-time adviser to this UK-based foundation that explores and promotes children’s literature in translation. OIW Cofounder and Manager Deborah Hallford: “Patricia brings tremendous knowledge and provides incredible support, including hands-on help.”
Pangea Educational Development: I am an Advisory Board member of this brilliant organization that leads literacy programs in Uganda. Learn more about Pangea here, and please support us!
