Katie's research is situated in the field of critical citizenship studies. Her work is primarily concerned with critically interrogating the relationship between citizenship, noncitizenship and belonging. Her first book, published in 2013, examined national identity and post-national citizenship in the context of intra-EU migration. Since then she has published two edited volumes, Theorising Noncitizenship and Understanding Statelessness, and her research has also appeared in journals including Citizenship Studies, the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, and Ethnic and Racial Studies. Katie's current research concerns a) noncitizenship and statelessness following cross-borders surrogacy, and b) the embodied experience of noncitizenship across the life course. At the level of theory, Katie's work engages with the radical reconceptualisation of membership.
