Katie Harling-Lee

I joined the School of Divinity in September 2025 as a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, working on the project ‘Quiet Literary Listening: Quaker Silence in the Novels of Dorothy Canfield Fisher’, after working as an Early Career Teaching Fellow in English Literature in the School of Literatures, Languages, and Cultures also at the University of Edinburgh (January-August 2025). While broadly based in Modern and Contemporary Literature, my research is highly interdisciplinary, crossing into multiple areas including sound studies, musicology and music philosophy studies, conflict studies, and theology. Previously, I have taught at Durham University, Edinburgh Napier University, and Northumbria University. I completed my BA (2017), MA (2019), and PhD (2022) at Durham University, the latter funded by the Wolfson Foundation. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
