Teaching

Catherine has taught across an innovative range of post-graduate programmes in public policy and management, including a Masters in Public Administration and Degree Apprenticeship.

She is also an experienced supervisor and examiner of doctoral students, and has supported many of her students to secure funded studentships. Her current doctoral students include:

Matthew McKenna: blame avoidance in UK central-local relations (ESRC 1+3 studentship)

Andrew Tangang: decentralisation and community government in Cameroon (Shaun Johnson Memorial Scholarship)

Mega Waty: street level bureaucracy in Indonesian poverty relief programmes (Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education, LPDP)

Giada Garofani: longitudinal educational outcomes (ADR 1+3 studentship)

Catherine is happy to work with prospective students to develop their research proposal, and is interested in supervising doctoral and post-doctoral work across a range of concerns with substantive, theoretical, or methodological connections with her own research. Catherine is particularly keen to support applications allied to the core research foci of the Heseltine Institute on the future of cities, regional inequalities and public service reform.
