Background
Katie is Professor of Applied Health Research & Ageing in the Population Health Sciences Institute. Katie is a social gerontologist with an educational background in sociology. This has enabled her to pursue her research interests in the social impact that illness can have on the lives of older people. During her time as an applied health researcher Katie has researched and published widely around the impact of ill health on older people and their carers. More recently her work has focused around how aspects of the physical, social and technological environment pose challenges and opportunities for older people and their wider community.
