Research Interests

Katie's research interests include skin tone hierarchy among African American women and the ways these issues intersect with other categories of identity such as gender and sexuality. She is also interested in Midwestern queer rural studies and plans to conduct a creative/artistic ethnographic study of queer black women in rural spaces in Indiana for her dissertation work. Additionally, Katie is a visual artist and includes creative approaches, particularly painting, into her research methods and loves to exhibit her work as much as possible.
