Katarina Elam är fil. dr. i estetik. Hennes avhandling Emotions as a Mode of Understanding: An Essay in Philosophical Aesthetics (2001) behandlar emotioner som ett sätt att uppfatta och förstå världen. Avhandlingen beskriver även en uppenbar koppling mellan emotioner och berättelser/berättande. I hennes senare forskning har kroppslighet framträtt som ett övergripande tema och i ett påbörjat arbete läggs fokus framförallt på känselsinnets betydelse för estetisk erfarenhet.
