Dr. Katy Gibbons is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Portsmouth, affiliated with the School of Area Studies, Sociology, History, Politics, and Literature. She joined the university in 2009 after teaching at the University of Warwick and the University of York. Her research focuses on religious change in early modern England and Europe, particularly the impact of religious exile on societal dynamics and the role of material culture in shaping identities. She is currently investigating English Catholic exile, resistance, and conformity through a study of the Percy family, earls of Northumberland, and the interplay between people, objects (books, relics), and minority religions.
Her work explores how early modern Catholic exiles engaged with saints’ cults and host societies, emphasizing transnational religious networks. She has published a monograph on the English Catholic community in Paris during Elizabeth I’s reign and continues to examine the socio-religious interactions between European coreligionists.
Dr. Gibbons is a PhD supervisor within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and contributes to research groups such as the History Research Group and the Sociology and Social Theory Research Group. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges history, cultural studies, and religious studies.
