Rose has supervised projects at Honours, Masters and PhD levels, including work on Shakespeare, nineteenth-century Tasmanian theatre and twentieth-century drama. Her main research supervision areas are Tudor and Stuart drama, Shakespeare on stage and screen, Tasmanian theatre history, editing early-modern plays, and the analysis of performance space.
Representations of Antarctica in literature, and the culture of Antarctic communities: I am currently undertaking an ARC Discovery Grant funded project investigating these areas. My research encompasses both published and archival material, and extends to the amateur literary productions of Antarctic expeditioners themselves. This is a very under-researched area; there is scope for a number of different postgraduate projects in the field. UTas is an ideal place to undertake this research: the Morris Miller and Antarctic Division libraries are well stocked with Antarctic-related material; Hobart has an active Antarctic culture, which reaches its peak in the annual Mid-Winter Festival; and Antarctic and Southern Ocean studies is a 'theme area' of the University.
The relationship between literature and science: I hold a BSc in Physics as well as my degrees in English Literature, and am interested in supervising projects that bring literature and science together. My own research in this area has been focused on popularization of physics in the late twentieth century, as well as 'hard' science fiction novels. 'Science and literature' is a burgeoning area of academic study, with its own dedicated society, journal and European and US conferences; science fiction studies is a well-established and very active field. Both fields offer numerous potential areas of investigation for interested students.
I would be keen to supervise theses in the areas of medieval literary studies and the many varieties of medievalism that are evident in popular culture. I have supervised projects in film studies (feminist film theory and film noir) and in nineteenth-century, twentieth-century and contemporary prose fiction. I am also keen to supervise editing projects, ficiton or non-fiction, in the medieval, nineteenth-century and contemporary periods.
