Summary
Katrina Navickas is a Professor of History at the University of Hertfordshire with over a decade of experience researching modern British political and social history, especially protest, social movements, and the evolution of public space. Her work bridges academic scholarship and public engagement—she has led major AHRC-funded networks, secured a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship for a national history of public space, and curated exhibitions and community co‑production projects around decommissioned industrial landscapes. Regularly sought by national media, she has appeared on BBC Newsnight and numerous radio programmes, translating complex research for broad audiences. Trained at Oxford (DPhil) and with a sustained track record of project management, grant-winning and digital humanities practice (GIS and text-mining), she combines archival depth with creative, community-centred methodologies. An investigator who moves between policy-relevant research and grassroots heritage partnerships, she is particularly noted for bringing contested modern landscapes into public and scholarly conversation.
