Chloë 's main research interests are criminal law, legal theory, legal history, and the relationship between these areas. She is particularly interested in intellectual and cultural legal history, focussing on the ways that prevailing ideas have shaped the law's development and continue to inform our contemporary assumptions. Her research also focuses on law and gender and law and religion.

Following a 2 year AHRC Research leader fellowship, Chloë is writing a monograph on deceptively-induced intimacy (sex and romantic relationships): https://www.law.ed.ac.uk/research/research-projects/identity-deception
