Biography
Kathryn is a dance research and educator, specialising in inclusive dance practice and research methods. In 2020 Kathryn completed her PhD at C-DaRE and her AHRC-funded research focused on photography-based interventional approaches that sought to change public perceptions about disabled people who dance.
Kathryn graduated with an MA in Education (Distinction) from University of Brighton (2016) and holds a first-class BA (Hons) in Dance Studies from Roehampton University (2010). Her Masters dissertation focused on the perceptions held by dance students as to the value of dance and its effect on life aspects, including education, relationships and wellbeing. She is currently an Academic Tutor at Bird College and has recently worked as Associate Lecturer at University of Malta and Research Assistant at University of Winchester. Additionally, Kathryn was Impact and Communications Manager for AWA DANCE charity and is currently Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer for Dance HE and Newsletter Editor for the Society for Dance Research. Kathryn is also Editorial Assistant for the Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices.
Research Interests
Kathryn's research interests span inclusive dance, dance in education and exploring the value and impact of dance. The focus of her PhD research was on photography-based interventions located within the intersection between dance and disability, following on from an evaluation of People Dancing’s '11 Million Reasons to Dance’ project. Currently, Kathryn's postdoctoral research explores the lived experience of isolated working for disabled dance artists, considering modes of communication, use of technology and change in working practices in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, Kathryn is enthusiastic about transdisciplinary research and has worked for the Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling on the Energy REV project, exploring stakeholder perspectives on Energy, AI and Ethics. Kathryn is one of the project team members for Gap_E[thics], which seeks to explore the concept, understanding and practice of ethics in technological from different disciplinary perspectives.
