Amanda Rutherford's research spans two distinct areas within the social sciences. The core of the work examines public administration and governance, including how frontline government workers (such as bureaucrats and police officers) make decisions, how public organizations are staffed and managed, and how representation and transparency function in the public sector. A separate strand focuses on cultural and media analysis, including Gothic and horror media and studies of Disney.
