Prior to joining Aston, Katy held research positions in the School of Health Sciences and Social Care at Brunel University, and the Department of Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham. Katy has undertaken research projects relating to erotic dance; sex work; creative pedagogies; and ageing and everyday life. Her three most recent projects include a BA/Leverhulme-funded project entitled ‘Empowering Pleasures? ‘Sexual’ Leisure Spaces For Women’ (P.I); a project on Ageing and Digital Exclusion, funded by Research England (C.I); and research into the sexual health needs of ‘online’ sex workers in Birmingham for University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (C.I). Katy’s research monograph Erotic Performance and Spectatorship: New Frontiers in Erotic Dance was published in 2017 (Routledge), and she has co-edited two books: Embodying Religion, Gender and Sexuality (2021, Routledge, with S.
