Her research focuses on trade, consumption, and material culture in Early Modern Britain and Ireland, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches.

Flavin’s publications span books and articles analyzing material culture, trade networks, and social dynamics in early modern Ireland and Britain. Her work bridges historical analysis with archaeological and economic methodologies, reflecting her commitment to interdisciplinary research.
Her current project, FoodCult, investigates how food consumption shaped cultural identity during a transformative period of Irish history. This collaborative effort integrates historical records with archaeological findings to provide a nuanced understanding of daily life and societal changes.
