Rona Marcia Fields (née Katz; 27 October 1932 – 2 April 2016)[1] was an American psychologist,[2] feminist and author, specialising in post-colonial studies and child psychology.
[3][4][5][6] Rona Katz was born into a Jewish American family in 1932 and attended Spalding High School for Crippled Children in Chicago.
[1] In the 1970s, she studied the effects of The Troubles on civilians, accusing the British state of psychological genocide against the Irish people.
[7] In 1972, Fields was hired by Clark University, Massachusetts as a full-time associate professor.
"[9] The resulting case, Fields v. Clark University, resulted in her being reinstated for a two-year probationary period and then reconsidered for tenure, and awarded back pay, attorney's fees, and costs.
