Biography and Interests
Kate obtained her M.A. in Human Sciences from Oxford University. She then worked in the Department of Community Medicine and General Practice at Oxford University and obtained an MSc based on research on the long-term effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the Faculty of Clinical Medicine at Oxford University. She obtained her PhD from Glasgow University. When she first joined the Medical Sociology Unit in Glasgow, she was principally involved with the West of Scotland Twenty-07 Study, a longitudinal study of the social patterning of health. In recent years she has been head of a programme of research on gender and health. In 2006 she was appointed Honorary Professor in the Division of Community Based Sciences at the University of Glasgow.
Kate's current research interests include gender and health; social inequalities in health; health, illness and disability in late mid-life and early old age; media and health; lay understandings of coronary heart disease and other chronic diseases; and immunisation (in particular MMR and HPV).
