Her research is guided by an overarching interest in gender issues in education, with particular interests in single-sex and mixed-sex learning environments, current 'moral panics' and debates regarding boys' 'underachievement', and concerns about 'laddish' attitudes and behaviours in schools. Between 2003-2005 she undertook an ESRC Fellowship to explore boys' and girls' motives for 'laddish' behaviours. A book from this project - 'Lads' and 'ladettes' in school: Gender and a fear of failure - was published in 2006 by Open University Press. This was awarded first prize for books published in 2006 by the Society for Educational Studies (SES).
