Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
University at Buffalo, School of Social Work
Patricia Logan-Greene, MSSW, PhD, associate professor and associate dean for academic affairs, takes a trauma-informed approach to violence, childhood adversity and system responses to maltreatment and delinquency. Through her research, she examines the effects of childhood maltreatment on aggression, delinquency and health and mental health outcomes throughout the lifespan. She recently completed a NIH-funded grant to examine the effects of child neglect and poverty on adolescent outcomes. She also coordinates the School of Social Work's Child Advocacy Studies microcredential, an undergraduate sequence focused on child maltreatment.
Recently, she has shifted her attention to the prevention of gun violence, especially how social workers can leverage their knowledge and skills to intervene with those most at risk of injury. Logan-Greene is a co-leader of the new national Grand Challenge in Social Work to Prevent Gun Violence. This work has also led to a Department of Homeland Security Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention grant to train behavioral health professionals in New York State on the prevention of violent extremism.
Logan-Greene is actively seeking doctoral student mentees with interests in violence prevention.
Logan-Greene originally joined the UB School of Social Work from the University of Washington School of Social Work, where she completed her doctorate and earned statistics certification through the Center for Statistics in the Social Sciences. She was also awarded an NIMH Mental Illness Prevention Fellowship and ITHS TL1 Multidisciplinary Predoctoral Clinical Research Fellowship.
