Megan's research employs a post-structural feminist and Foucauldian approach to analyze criminal law, the carceral state, and gendered violence. She has published on topics including surrealist femicide, critical legal studies, and bail reforms, highlighting how cultural and political discourses influence legal systems and incarceration trends.
Her recent articles (2021-2025) explore intersections of art and crime, structural violence against First Nations women, and the impacts of punitive legal reforms. These works span subfields like intersectionality, therapeutic jurisprudence, and decolonial legal analysis.
