Kathryn is a grassroots activist and advocate in social movement spaces, with particular engagement in children’s rights, LGBTQIA+ justice, grief work, and climate justice, as well as support for transformative justice approaches outside of the carceral system. For the past 20 years, Kathryn has prioritised work that at its core seeks to radically shift the world we live in, and re-imagine a future that centres liberation, justice and care for all living beings and this planet. Their own lived experience as a child bereaved by domestic homicide informs their role as a family homicide researcher at The University of Melbourne. Their aim is to co-create a peer network of victim-survivors who can support each other, as well as advocate for more specialist services. In 2024, 'KillJoy', a documentary about their childhood and life as a victim-survivor of domestic homicide, was released on Stan.
