Her research interests lie at the intersection of pedagogy, equity, and institutional structures in higher education. She critically examines the role of teaching and learning centres, the experiences of graduate students and contingent faculty, and the challenges of conducting ethical research with marginalized communities. Her work often employs narrative and epistolary methods to explore academic identity, legitimacy, and labor.

The most recent publications highlight a strong trend in exploring equity work within academic development, the visibility of teaching practices, and the cultivation of critical thinking in students. Her work spans interdisciplinary collaborations, particularly in geosciences education and digital learning environments, while maintaining a core focus on social justice and institutional critique in academia.

Marie van der Kloet has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles in leading journals such as the International Journal for Academic Development, Active Learning in Higher Education, and Critical Studies in Education. Her collaborative research grants likely support projects on academic development, equity, and pedagogical innovation, though specific grants are not mentioned in the text.

She is actively engaged in the international SoTL community, presenting her work at major conferences like the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) and the International Consortium of Educational Developers (ICED). Her work contributes significantly to understanding the evolving role of educational developers and the challenges of enacting equity in contemporary universities.
