Amy's masters dissertation explored the ecological disorganization and human rights abuses caused by The Coca-Cola Company in Latin America, using Mexico and Colombia as case studies. Her undergraduate dissertation, which is published in the University of Lincoln's library, focused on recognizing non-human animals as victims through a non-speciest lens, using the example of the industrialized meat industry.
Amy has also conducted funded research into young women's attitudes towards terrorism and extremism which allowed her to publish her first article, as well as travel across Europe after a successful joint Santander grant application whilst completing her undergraduate degree. She has also worked in collaboration with Crimestoppers conducting research on students attitudes and experiences of victimisation, creating the #staysafe project which intended to help create a program to be rolled across universities within the East Midlands with aim to reduce student victimisation.
