Katharine specialises in environmental ethics, language (including linguistic justice), creative methodologies, and how we learn about the world with and through texts. She is particularly interested in agricultural ethics and instruction, didactic form (such as policy), and equity and justice. She is also a Co-I within the Land Use for Net Zero (LUNZ) Hub, which is co-funded by UKRI, the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (on behalf of England and Wales), the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and the Scottish Government. Recent grants have included: as a Co-I on a large NERC grant looking at memory in trees and climate change as part of the ‘Future of UK Treescapes’ programme, and as PI on two NERC-led UKRI grants looking at present and future landscape decisions and agricultural ethics within the ‘Landscape Decision: towards a new framework for using land assets’ programme. She is particularly interested in collaborative and interdisciplinary work, with both academic and non-academic partners.
