Katrina Dernelley is a PhD candidate at CRCAH, Federation University. Her research concentrates on the intersection between nineteenth-century British social theory and lifestyle and domesticity and domestication of the Victorian goldfields. Her thesis will examine how and why the adherence to a predominantly English realisation of home lay the social, aesthetic and ideological foundations for everyday life on the goldfields. Katrina has extensive experience in heritage, conservation and architectural history. Her previous study specialised in the legacy of nineteenth-century English Arts and Crafts theory in Australia.
