Her research explores marginalized groups' perspectives, such as soldiers in the Napoleonic Wars, women's political agency, and domestic servants in penal-era Ireland. She is currently working on her third monograph, Master and Servant in Eighteenth-Century Ireland, funded by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship (2020-2021).
Catriona's publications highlight intersections between military conflicts, gendered identities, and cultural memory. Her work on the HERA-funded project Making War, Mapping Europe and the AHRC-DFG project on Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars further underscores her expertise in transnational historical experiences.
