Staff publications include work on Theatre and Spatial Inquiry, Cultural Geography, Australian Theatre Studies, Postcolonial Theatre, Theatre Historiography, Theatre of the Asia-Pacific Regions, Dramaturgy, Gothic Studies, Playwriting, Shakespeare Studies and Restoration Theatre spaces. Staff are also members of grant-driven research teams working on digital archives that include AusStage and the Cultural Atlas of Australia.
