Kate's research examines how German-language print media (broadsheets, news pamphlets) shaped international views of the English Reformation (1547–1603) and its political-religious dynamics. She highlights the interconnectedness of Protestant and Catholic networks across England and the Holy Roman Empire, particularly post-1555 Peace of Augsburg. Her work emphasizes multiconfessionalism and cross-border information flows.

Her doctoral research is funded by the Sloan-Robinson, Kingsgate, and Arnold Bryce Reed scholarships via Lincoln College and the History Faculty. She has integrated public engagement and museum collaboration into her studies, drawing on prior experience in West Midlands archives and museums.
