Research Themes: Barnard's scholarship critically examines the intersection of EU legal frameworks and national labor policies, especially post-Brexit. Her recent projects include analyses of low-skilled labor migration, EU Settlement Scheme implementation, and digital platform worker protections. She contributes to debates on free movement doctrine, social dumping, and regulatory autonomy in a fragmented legal landscape.

Her collaborative work with EU migrant communities highlights practical legal barriers in employment, healthcare, and debt resolution.
