Katy is an Early Career Researcher and has been lecturing at GCU since 2015. Her PhD research was on ‘Stalking in Scotland; A Feminist Perspective’ and now her research interests include gender-based-violence, in particular domestic abuse and stalking. Katy’s PhD research was shortlisted and commended in the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science Research Impact and Knowledge Exchange Competition in 2018. Prior to embarking on a career in academia, Katy worked within the violence against women sector for ten years supporting women, young people and children who had suffered domestic abuse and sexual assault. Her experience in these roles directly informs and influences her research. Her research has had a significant impact due to her proactive approach to research dissemination through multi-agency training, academic conferences and seminars. Katy is also co-convenor of the Gender Research Group at GCU.
