Dr Haggarty specializes in long eighteenth-century British writing and culture, with particular expertise in William Blake studies. Her research explores the intersections of literary studies with anthropology, religious studies, and economics. She has developed significant work on theories of gift-giving and exchange, as well as phenomenologies of timing and tempo within literary contexts. Her teaching reflects these interests through courses on material culture, travel, trade, and empire.

At Queens' College, Dr Haggarty teaches 'Literature and its Contexts, 1660-1870', 'Lyric', and 'Practical Criticism and Critical Practice', while also supervising dissertations. Within the broader University English Faculty, she lectures on material culture, travel and empire studies, and William Blake, and teaches the MPhil in Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Studies.
