Dr. Gallagher's book Drama Education in the Lives of Girls: Imagining Possibilities (University of Toronto Press, 2000) received the American Education Research Association's book award for significant contribution to Curriculum Studies in 2001. Her edited collection (ed. K. Gallagher and D. Booth) is entitled How Theatre Educates: Convergences and Counterpoints with Artists, Scholars, and Advocates (University of Toronto Press, 2003). Dr. Gallagher's research in drama/theatre continues to focus on questions of democratic practice and social engagement as well as the pedagogical possibilities of learning and acting through the arts. Her current project in schools in Toronto and New York city has opened up a range of new questions about the move toward "safety and security" in North American schools and the cultural productions of youth and notions of risk/Other inscribed therein.
