Patterson has investigated nursing, a profession she has personally found uncaring,〔Christina Patterson ("A crisis in nursing: Six operations, six stays in hospital – and six first-hand experiences of the care that doesn't care enough" ), ''The Independent'', 10 April 2012〕 in a series of articles for ''The Independent'',〔("Christina Patterson: Writer and columnist, The Independent" ), Orwell Prize short list biography〕 and a programme for BBC Radio 4's ''Four Thoughts'' series, an essay which ''Guardian'' reviewer Elisabeth Mahoney found "compellingly written and studded with rhetorical flourishes and unpalatable assertions".〔Elisabeth Mahony ("Radio review: Four Thought" ), ''The Guardian'', 28 April 2011〕 The investigative work on nursing, which had its origins in Patterson's experience of having six operations in eight years resulting from breast cancer,〔 led in 2013 to her being short-listed for the Orwell Prize (Journalism).〔Arifa Akbar ("2013 Orwell prize for books shortlist revealed" ), ''The Independent'', 17 April 2013〕〔("Orwell Prize 2013 Shortlists Announced" ), The Orwell Prize, 17 April 2013〕 She is a regular participant in ''The Review Show'' (BBC Two) as a member of its panel.〔 Patterson though has faced criticism for pieces which have been considered antisemitic.〔Robyn Rosen ("Christina Patterson has gone and done it again" ), ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 23 December 2010〕 A July 2010 column about her ultra-orthodox〔Julian Kossoff ("10 reasons why you would want ultra-Orthodox Jews as neighbours" ), ''The Daily Telegraph'' (London), 31 July 2010〕 Charedi Jewish neighbours in Stamford Hill, London,〔See Christina Patterson ("The limits of multi-culturalism" ), ''The Independent'' (London), 28 July 2010 and Miriam Shaviv ("The limits of multi-culturalism" ), ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 28 July 2010〕 led to her comments being on a Top 10 list from the Simon Weisenthal Centre of that year's most notable antisemitic slurs.〔Nathan Jeffay ("It's the top ten hate slurs of 2010" ), ''The Jewish Chronicle'', 22 December 2010> For the original document, see ("Anti semitism Goes Mainstream: 2010 Top 10 Anti-semitic slurs" ), Simon Weisenthal Center〕 This incident led the historian Guy Walters to defend Patterson, arguing that her inclusion in the list "is manifesting far more intolerance than anything she ever wrote. Yes, calling for Jews to be burned to death is anti-Semitic, but asking Hasidic Jews in Stamford Hill to be a little more polite is not."〔Guy Walters ("It's not anti-Semitic to say that Hasidic Jews are intolerant of goyim" ), telegraph.co.uk (blog), 23 December 2010〕 A supporter of the British Humanist Association,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christina Patterson )〕 Patterson is also a member of team at the Nottingham Trent University's "Writers for the Future" programme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christina Patterson )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christina Patterson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
