Kathryn McEwan is a lecturer in Health and Social Care at the University of Northumbria. After completing a PhD in youth transitions, social class, and social inequalities, she moved into the health research field, completing two post-docs. Initially, working on the value and impact of specialist nursing for people with Parkinson's (using grounded theory), followed by, investigating the outcomes of those accessing specialist palliative care services at the end-of-life at home (using realist evaluation).
She is currently working on papers and further research on how we can have better conversations on death and dying, including improving death education and how we might best support informal caregivers at the end of life.
Kathryn is a co-convener for the British Sociological Association (BSA) Early Career Forum, where along with her colleagues they provide space, events, and resources to support early career sociologists to move into the next stage of their careers (within and outwith schools of social science).
