Karen Mailley-Watt received her MLitt in Decorative Arts and Design History from the University of Glasgow in 2009. She is a Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities ARCS funded PhD Researcher at the University of Glasgow and the Glasgow School of Art, successfully passing her Viva in October 2020.
Her thesis, The Glasgow Society of Lady Artists 1882-1942, provides a comprehensive overview of women associated with the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists.
