Kate Morley

Kate joined ECEHH in October 2022 as a part-time PhD Researcher funded by GroundsWell, a UKPRP-funded project exploring ways to better understand and evidence the role of Urban Green and Blue Space within wider social, economic, environmental, cultural and health systems.

Her research is exploring Disability and Social Inclusion in Urban Nature. As well as looking at health inequities, she is also researching how disabled people perceive and interact with varied forms of urban nature and how this impacts their lives, in potentially positive and negative ways. ​Kate is also examining how urban areas can be more nature-friendly without disadvantaging disabled people, by talking to disabled people and hearing their lived experiences of living alongside urban nature.
