Professor Clavin's research focuses on the history of international and transnational relations in the 20th century. 

Her research interests include:

  • History of regional and global organisations, and international activism
  • History of food
  • History of capitalism

Patricia is currently examining human security, strongly tied to questions of food security. In particular, when, and in what ways do people begin to conceive of a global food system, why and with what results? She has put together a global network of researchers on the topic: Sustainable Pasts and Resilient Futures, and is also working on the project Changing Global Orders
