Kathryn McEwan is a Lecturer in Community Wellbeing. Her research explores end-of-life care, death literacy, and support for caregivers, with a particular interest in how experiences of dying and bereavement are shaped by social class, service structures, and cultural narratives.
Her recent publications draw on realist evaluation, participatory action research, and grounded theory, and include findings from studies of home-based palliative and end-of-life care, as well as Parkinson’s specialist nursing. Her current and future work aims to better understand the experiences of those accessing (or excluded from) care services, alongside the reflections of those who are bereaved. She is currently contributing to the development of future funding applications to the AHRC and NIHR HSDR.
Kathryn teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with a particular interest in compassionate and inclusive practice. She is committed to applied, collaborative research that improves real-world outcomes for people navigating complex care systems.
She also serves as a convenor for the British Sociological Association’s Early Career Forum, supporting community-building and knowledge-sharing among early-career sociologists.
