Catherine Howe

Welcome! I am the CEX of Adur and Worthing Councils as well as the current Chair of the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny. I am also a trustee of the Democratic Society.

Generally everything I do involves looking at digital, democracy and social change and how we can actively influence this in a way which reflects our values and the way we want to live our lives - I am a technologist who is trying to make sure we leave space for humans. I am increasingly interested in the spaces between participation and democracy as well as how we create civic spaces online. I am also thinking a lot about organisational design at the moment and how it could / should work as part of system change.

If you are looking for my professional bio then you need to head over to LinkedIn . I still lurk occasionally on Twitter / X as @curiousc but I am increasingly moving away from that space as it seems to become more toxic. I do parallel publish to Medium where you can find me here.
