Dr. Crewe has received research grants from the USDA, to study and facilitate organic farming as a tool for community building in the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, Arizona, also from the Graham Foundation, to help fund her sabbatical travels, and towards running a conference in Gender in 2004. She is working on a documentary.

Katherine Crewe's scholarship addresses the fields of planning and urban design, with an emphasis on gender and the needs of local communities; her long-term research involves innovative strategies in city-building which address these broader urban needs. She is currently working on a book, Building Ideals: Practical Utopias from New Towns to New Urbanism (with Ann Forsyth, of Cornell University).

Katherine Crewe has published articles in leading journals in the planning and urban design fields. Her edited volumes include an issue of Progressive Planning, and proceedings from the "Genderbound" conference held at ASU in 2004.
