Kate's work examines the intersection of philanthropy, tourism and education. In particular, her research explored the phenomenon of philanthropic tourism in Matabeleland North using a Foucauldian lens. From 2019, she has also added the nature of contract research in higher education to her research interests. She is now working on a project about Parent and Citzen associations in New South Wales.
