Katharine is interested in how we learn about the world with and through texts, and particularly enjoy topics and concepts in ancient didactic poetry that intersect with modern philosophy and physics. She is currently Co-I and Theme lead on the new UKRI Centre for Net Positive Health and Climate Solutions, Co-I on a large NERC grant looking at memory in trees and climate change, and 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. She was recently PI on two NERC-led UKRI grants looking at present and future landscape decisions and agricultural ethics. Katharine enjoys the pluralistic aspects of Classics, and often works with other disciplines and non-academic partners.
