Kate Waterworth
Kate's personal, professional, and academic roles have all intersected with her interests in the experiences of children in Aotearoa New Zealand. As a new graduate physiotherapist, she worked with disabled children in their homes and education services in West Auckland. Kate loved connecting with them and their families, however had many questions about the service she was involved in delivering, as well as broader social conditions they experienced. Postgraduate study at the Children’s Issues Centre (Otago) was inspiring and introduced her to new ways of thinking and being with children. She has brought these learnings into teaching at AUT and continue to be curious about how to understand and enhance their experiences.
