Dr Kate Seymour
Senior Lecturer
College of Education, Psychology and Social Work
Kate is a Senior Lecturer, currently in Social Work at Flinders University in South Australia, and previously in Criminology and Justice Studies, and a founding member of the Social Work Innovation Research Living Space (SWIRLS). Her research focus - on gender, masculinities and violence - spans the fields of social work and criminology. She is especially interested in the framing of violence in the policy, prevention, and practice realms, and the ways in which this reflects and reinforces social hierarchies and structural inequalities.
Kate is a skilled qualitative researcher with a background in direct social work practice and management including in the areas of adult offending and work with male perpetrators of domestic and family violence.
