Elizabeth A. Hoffmann studies how law and workplace policy intersect with everyday work life, with particular attention to how organizations comply with (or resist) laws protecting workers, such as those requiring accommodations for breastfeeding employees. Her work also examines labor movements, worker cooperatives, emotional labor in jobs like nursing and policing, and how marginalized groups have used legal and social means to resist discrimination historically. Much of her recent output centers on a book project about workplace lactation accommodation law and its effects on management practices.

Publication output was uneven over the last decade, with a notable surge in 2021 (likely tied to a book publication) followed by a slower but fairly steady pace of one to two works per year through 2025.
