Drawing on her clinical background and grounded ethnographic methodologies, Katherine’s research approach is one that works alongside clinicians in all phases of research design, implementation and results dissemination. Her research focuses on the areas of health and medical sociology, particularly health services research. Her methodological interests centre on video-based methods and feminist approaches to research design.
