Research interests
Katherine is interested in the intersection between education and media. Having come from a media studies background where she explored cultural constructs of women, age and race on screen, Katherine has drawn on her understanding of media to consider how media might be used to enhance higher education teaching. She is particularly interested in technology and education, blended learning and universal design for learning.
