Women's Work

Although women have long been involved in making and designing the built environment, their contributions have been largely invisible. This talk explores their contributions, as patrons, designers, activists and in the production of buildings and materials.

Katie trained as an architect and received her PhD in 2010, before joining the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at Newcastle University, where she is now a Visiting Professor. Widely published, her research explores feminist theory and practice, technology, materials and building labour and the intersections between them.
