Her research focus is Canadian and international higher education as seen at the levels of policy, systems, institutions and individual academics. A related area of interest is the changing academic profession and the interrelationship between research activity and researcher identity. Dr. Metcalfe is currently developing a methodology for visual research in higher education, building upon visual ethnography, poststructuralism, and the visual arts.
