Dr Katie Victoria Holdway BA, MA, AFHEA
Research Fellow, Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH)

Katie Holdway is a Research Fellow in the Southampton Institute for Arts and Humanities (SIAH) at the University of Southampton.
I began my studies at the University of Southampton in 2014, completing my BA in English with French in 2017, and my MA in Nineteenth-Century Studies in 2018. After I was awarded a Postgraduate Scholarship by the Wolfson Foundation, I also completed my doctoral studies with Southampton’s English Department, and passed my viva voce examination with no corrections in March 2022. In February 2022, I was appointed as Research Fellow for the ongoing project ‘Envirohub at Durley Chine’, a collaboration between SIAH and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP), which aims to produce a programme of research-led arts events to facilitate the delivery of local council environmental strategies. I am also an associate of Southampton’s Digital Humanities Hub, and continue to be fascinated by the relationship between newspaper history, literary studies and the ‘digital turn’.
