Her lifelong passion for history has taken her from archaeological field digs in Greece and Italy to the digital realms of online archives. Cate's doctoral research examines digital public history through affect and political economic theory in order to establish a better understanding of how platforms influence the production, distribution, and consumption of public history. Cate's research was generously supported by SSHRC in both her Masters' and her PhD, and she is the coordinator for the GLAM Incubator at the University of Toronto.
