Kathryn Gorden

Biography

I have worked in various areas of the University for 14 years, and my employment history includes roles within HR and Administration. In October 2017, I commenced my position as Senior Student Services Administrator for the Interdisciplinary Studies Centre (ISC), which was part of the School of Philosophy and Art History (SPAH). In 2023, we merged with the History department and are now known as PHAIS (Philosophical, Historical and Interdisciplinary Studies). My role includes providing all-round support to our students whilst they are studying here at Essex. I work with various systems such as Moodle, FASER, and ESIS. I also provide support to our academic staff within PHAIS. My duties are wide-ranging and include assisting with module enrolment, special syllabus and course change approvals, timetable clashes, class change requests and absence notifications.
