At Northeastern, Katherine completed an independent research project critiquing SESTA-FOSTA (a new federal law regarding sex trafficking) under the supervision of Professor Aziza Ahmed. She also contributed research and analysis to the Center for Public Interest Advocacy and Collaboration’s BBA-funded project to map points of intervention in the cradle-to-prison pipeline. Katherine also conducted research about intersecting forms of oppression experienced by the most marginalized members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
