“You are an inspiration, not only in the way you created this wonderful and caring group but also in your conviction that academic life should and can be changed and in your ceaseless effort to do just that.”

“Thank you for being such a supportive and mindful colleague and head of our group, you create much of the culture that makes such work possible.”

“I appreciate working here with/for you all in an amazing work environment which I have never experienced before!”

“When people hear that Geraldine Fitzpatrick is in my supervisor team, they get dreamy eyes, explain how important her work is to them and rave about her kindness. They have no idea. She is all that and so much more. Any meeting I had with her, she genuinely cared about me as a person. She makes clear that the human matters in this, that we should not accept being simple cogs in an academic machine. That passion is something we can bank on, nothing to hide. That we need to take care of each other. Her care and kindness are also reflected in her academic work, that continues to inspire me. If I can only develop part of that deep reflection on my work and the people concerned by and with it, I could consider myself lucky.”

"I have recently come across your podcast and wanted to thank you. The conversations are so honest and clear, and it is liberating to hear people discuss important issues which are often not discussed in our universities.”

“Geraldine Fitzpatrick is a wonderful, kind and compassionate teacher who deeply cares about her students. She offers a variety of courses and supervises a large number of students for their thesis work. She is a treasure trove of knowledge and has the fantastic skill to provide the right input at the right time. She also puts a high value on study - life balance and puts priorities in perspective.
