Katy Rose (Catherine) Robeson

Katy Rose (she/her/hers) graduated with her B.A. in Anthropology and International Studies in 2019, and returned to the University of Michigan to pursue her MSW in global social work and research & program evaluation. Her interests lay in narratives of trauma and healing, particularly with regard for gender-based violence and Indigeneity. She has experience in thematic research on testimonies provided by survivors of the Indian Residential School system in Canada, along with research on the impact of 9/11 on the youngest generation to recall it in living memory, and the impact of trauma from gender-based violence on women’s connections to themselves and others as they heal. Through the MSW program, Katy Rose aims to gain the practical skills to apply research in addition to conducting it. In her free time, she enjoys reading fantasy fiction, gardening (which sounds better than plant-hoarding), and cuddling her very large fluffy rabbit.
