Senior🎓
Top SchoolKatherine Harris is a senior academic leader and director of public programming at San Jose State University with 11 years of higher-education experience and a deep background in literature, digital humanities, and community-engaged arts. As Director of Public Programming for the College of Humanities & the Arts she builds cross-disciplinary curricular ties, expands community partnerships across the South Bay, and pursues grant-funded infrastructure to scale student-centered public events. A tenured professor of literature and digital humanities, she blends humanistic scholarship—rooted in a Ph.D. in 19th-century British literature and women’s studies—with practical program leadership that prioritizes “moving at the speed of trust” over rapid, extractive change. Her work is notable for translating academic expertise into durable civic cultural programming and for integrating experiential arts events directly into classroom learning.
