She specializes in nineteenth and twentieth century American literature and culture with a particular emphasis on radical print culture and memory, the literary life of the senses, and food studies. Her first book, Sensational Internationalism, was awarded the 2017 Arthur Miller Centre First Book prize in American Studies. Her new project, Culinary Designs, aims to chronicle the rise of food writing and the making of American taste in the long nineteenth century. Her articles and reviews have appeared or are forthcoming in Resilience: A Journal of the Environmental Humanities, Arizona Quarterly, the Henry James Review, Poe StudiesAmerican Nineteenth Century History, and the Journal of American Studies. In 2014, she guest edited "Tasting Modernism," the Winter 2014 special issue of Resilience and is currently editing The Cambridge Companion to Food and Literature.

Dr. Coghlan has acted as a grant assessor for the US-UK Fulbright Association, and serves on the Academic Advisory Board affiliated with the Musée Franco-Américain du Château de Blérancourt and the Sussex Centre for American Studies. From 2014-2017, she served on the Steering Committee of the British Association of Nineteenth-Century Americanists, a UK-based organisation of researchers, teachers, writers, and cultural critics engaged in progressive, interdisciplinary scholarship concerning American writing in the long nineteenth century which sponsors lectures, reading groups, a biennial conference in the UK with invited speakers from the US and round the world. (http://www.branca.org.uk).
