Katie McBride is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Plymouth, UK. Before joining academia, Katie was an equality and human rights practitioner working within the public and third sectors on the development and delivery of policy and practice designed to address inequalities and discrimination experienced by marginalised communities. Her key research interests lie in examining hate from a critical perspective with a particular focus on the harms of hate experienced by trans individuals. Katie's research utilises deep ethnographic participatory methods as a tool to redress the balance of power in research and academia. Her research has explored how adverse childhood experiences, communities of support and structures of governance have impacted on the lived experience of trans individuals. See less
