Research

Bath's main areas of interest combine various disciplines of women's, gender and technology research: gender research in computer science and mechanical engineering as well as the gendering of technical artefacts, participatory technology design, diffractive design, feminist Materialisms as well as inter- and transdisciplinarity in research and practice.

As coordinator of the NRW Women's and Gender Studies Network, she creates links within higher education and science research from a gender perspective and among researchers at universities in the state of NRW. The aim is to transfer knowledge from gender research to the specialised public. [3]

Awards

Bath was awarded an honorary doctorate by Graz University of Technology in 2022 for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of gender studies and its integration in the technical sciences. [3]
