Jane Hathaway's research focuses on the history of the Ottoman Empire, especially its administration of Egypt and other Arab provinces, and the social and political roles of groups such as eunuchs and enslaved people within Ottoman institutions. Her work draws on primary-source documents, including Ottoman-era records and materials from the Cairo Genizah (a historical archive of Jewish community documents), to study trade, governance, and social organization in the early modern Middle East. This work is grounded in close analysis of historical chronicles and archival documents rather than quantitative or laboratory-based methods.

Publication output was high around 2018-2019, dropped sharply from 2020-2024, and appears to be picking up again with several 2025-2026 items, suggesting an uneven but recently reactivated publication pattern.
