Kate Cook

Dr. Kate Cook is a Lecturer in Greek Culture at King’s College London's Department of Classics within the Faculty of Arts & Humanities. Her academic journey includes positions at the Universities of Manchester, Leeds, Durham, and St Andrews. She actively contributes to the Classics Gaming Collaborative, AIMS steering group, and the #WCCWiki Women's Classical Committee Wikipedia editing initiative.

Her research intersects Gender Studies, Greek Tragedy, and Classical Reception in video games, with current projects on women's language in ancient texts and gender representation in historical games. She employs interdisciplinary approaches bridging literary analysis and digital media studies.

Cook's publications demonstrate a consistent focus on gender dynamics in classical contexts through both traditional literary analysis and emerging digital mediums. She teaches courses on Greek literature, culture, and classical reception methodologies.

For public engagement, she regularly contributes to podcasts and events on historical game studies, particularly exploring ancient world representations in interactive media.
