Morgan specializes in social and cultural history, focusing on gender, colonialism, and imperialism in the British Empire. Her work examines the construction of Canadian history in 19th- and 20th-century Ontario and the intersections of gender, culture, and imperial identities. She recently published a book on commemoration and memory in Canada and is researching 19th-century Indigenous and mixed-race travel across colonial networks, funded by SSHRC.

Her current projects explore transatlantic colonial relations through performance, politics, and education. Morgan's SSHRC-funded research on English-Canadian actresses in imperial contexts bridges cultural and gender studies.
