With strong interests in dissent, the social impacts of digitalization as well as its capabilities, and in China, Katika is never bored because of the People's Republic of China latest developments. For her thesis she analyzed Chinese Communist Party's “Socialist Harmonious Society” program for counterinsurgency aspects by contrasting the government's theoretical announcements with its practical handling of dissenting migrant workers. Through political activism she came in touch with good and bad aspects of digitalization – countless new possibilities of networking and action on one side, digital surveillance techniques and technologies on the other. She developed a special interest in the cybernetic hypothesis, the huge possibilities of the digital sphere and its impacts on the "analog" live. Connecting her activist with her scholar life, she is currently working on a PhD on China's social credit programs which combines her interests in cybernetics, propaganda, and social control in relation to dissent.
