Profile
Dr Katharine Cox joined Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2006 having completed her PhD at the University of Hull. Katharine's PhD thesis examined the significance of the maze and labyrinth in contemporary fiction, connecting narrative complexity with early archaeological and literary examples. She’s currently working on a monograph based on this earlier research.
After becoming Head of Department in 2009, Katharine has worked to develop the distinctiveness of the programmes available in Humanities. This includes the consolidation of the English programmes, embedding of the employability focus across the degrees and identifying and working with relevant stakeholders to ensure the currency of the programmes.
Katharine’s research interests feed into the research group, Narratives, Identities and Place, which has a thematic focus across a variety of disciplines. In particular, the group is working with external partners to draw upon the literary significance of the city of Cardiff (see research publications).
She's currently completing an edited collection on the work of Iain M. Banks and hopes then to return to an interest in the writing of Jeanette Winterson. She welcomes PhD candidates in her fields of research interest or teaching as outlined on this webpage.
