Her research emphasizes deep cultural analysis, counter-memory, and narrative construction, particularly in how marginalized identities are represented in Shakespearean adaptations. Her teaching philosophy centers on historicizing texts and privileging voices from historical gaps, inspired by works like Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton.
Courtney's recent publications explore themes such as posthumanism, digital media, and transnational adaptations, with a focus on directors like Julie Taymor and Deepa Mehta. She analyzes how Shakespeare's secondary characters—often working-class figures, racial others, or women—reshape narratives ("scripting from below").
Key trends in her scholarship include Shakespearean ontology, feminist counter-cinema, and sociopolitical critique, particularly examining intersections between identity, power, and historical neglect.
