Graham's research focuses on writing practices, on modern drama, on avant-garde and modernist arts practices, on drama and cultural history (particularly around the 60s/70s counter-culture), and on performance in the law, especially in processes of public reconciliation. Recent publications examined witness and audience self-presentation in public legal environments such as the UN's tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, the ambiguous critical histories of punk and the tensions between the experimental and the mainstream illustrated by Yoko Ono's presence in The Beatles' history.
