Her research examines the material and ideological foundations of knowledge production, focusing on gender, religion, and social reform movements in North America.

Currently, she supervises two graduate theses addressing feminist performance art and the sociocultural construction of madness in women’s life stages.

Her publications include critical responses to academic theory, historical analyses of North American cultural movements, and edited volumes on religious studies methodologies. Warne is a recognized contributor to feminist critiques in religious scholarship and interdisciplinary approaches to cultural analysis.
