Caitlin Knight is a lecturer in Criminology at the University of Roehampton. She has conducted research examining the emotional experience of journalists reporting on genocide, specifically focusing on the genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica. In her role as a lecturer, she is interested in expanding her research interest in emotion management and is currently undertaking a project to explore the emotional experiences of Roehampton students during COVID-19.
Caitlin's research interests include the sociology of emotions, emotion management, emotional labour, media and journalism, media and crime, emotion and crime, war reporting, genocide, and cultural criminology.
Caitlin is currently working on a research project funded by the Southlands Methodist Trust, entitled: Understanding Emotional Journeys: the emotional impact of the student 'commute' during the era of Covid-19. This research engages with the emotional challenges faced by Roehampton students on their ‘commute’ – whether onto campus or virtually. It seeks to understand how students emotionally experience this commute and how it may impact their learning and wellbeing.
