Personal profile

Research Biography

Kate is an adjunct researcher who is nationally and internationally recognised for her work on understanding and responding to men’s violence. With a particular focus on the socio-cultural contexts of violence, her research explores how gender, masculinities and violence are framed across policy, prevention, and practice. She is particularly interested in how these framings reflect and reinforce structural inequalities.

Kate's research builds on her professional experience in direct practice with men who use violence, alongside her strong theoretical grounding across the fields of social work and criminology. This distinct perspective informs her nuanced approach to understanding and addressing violence.
