Her scholarship critically examines historical narratives shaping Australian identity, notably through studies of federation debates, pandemic responses, and war remembrance. Current projects include a conceptual history of Australian national security (ARC-funded) and cancer prevention cultural analysis.
Recent publications demonstrate methodological breadth: biographical studies reveal personal dimensions of historical events; policy analyses assess governance during crises; media critiques unpack Anzac mythology. Common threads include civic engagement mechanisms and transnational historical connections.
Holbrook actively mentors emerging scholars, supervising doctoral candidates exploring political governance, migration history, and cultural memory. She contributes to academic leadership through editorial roles at the Journal of Australian Studies and executive positions with the History Council of Victoria.
