Holly's area of research expertise is focused on representations of marginalised communities in news and other media, with a particular emphasis on Indigeneity, ethnicity, and religion. Her work shows how media affects the experience of ethnicity, religion, and sexuality for minority communities and contributes to misrepresentations and social inequality. Media can also play a socially transformative role through opportunities for self-representation and diversity of media participation. She has published research on the ways minority religious groups are affected by media and political debates about Indigenous sovereignty, citizenship, gender equality, and religious freedom.
