Her scholarly work engages with music of the Middle Ages through its sources and notations and through its place and meaning within ritual. The ways in which music was exploited as an element within church ritual, and especially in dramatic ceremonies, have formed a long-term focus of her studies.
Professor Rankin was elected fellow of the British Academy in 2009.
