WELCOME

I created this site to introduce myself and my work to anyone interested in learning more. I currently work between Los Angeles (my base) and my commitments in Oxford (visiting several times a year). I teach narrative medicine at USC medical school, global and human security, trauma-sensitive interviewing, and duty of care both as Oxford short courses and at the University of Southern California. I am co-chair of the Oxford Initiative for Global Ethics—and founded its Global Women’s Narratives Project during my term as a UNESCO Chair.

I am the daughter of Thomas Boyd III and Barksdale Thomas, the wife of David Judson, and the mother of our adult children, Gio Barksdale Judson and Benjamin Boyd Judson. David is president of a fifth-generation stained glass studio in Los Angeles, creating beautiful work worldwide.

I am happy you are here. I look forward to hearing from you if you have questions or wish to collaborate.
