Katherine is a PhD student in Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she studies gender, masculinity, language, and media. Her current research looks at discourse and rhetoric in content from misogynist online communities. In her future work, Katherine hopes to investigate similarities between language in hateful, supposedly niche online communities and more highly-regarded historical and contemporary texts, and how language from each perpetuates and exacerbates social inequality.
