Currently she is supervising research on Australian writers for young people in the early twentieth century: a DEd thesis on Ruth Hawker, and a PhD thesis on Olga Ernst.
Her masters supervision is for a thesis investigating the relationship between wide reading and academic achievement, and another on the relationship between reading engagement and effective comprehension strategies.
