She is the daughter of renowned anthropologist and linguist Gregory Bateson and the granddaughter of biologist and evolutionary theorist William Bateson. Bateson is a prominent member of think tanks such as the Tällberg Foundation, the Club of Rome, and the Taos Institute.

Her 2016 book "Small Arcs of Larger Circles" is an essential work for understanding systemic and complexity studies.
