- Copyright
- Moral Rights
- Regulating online content
- Restrictions on creative freedom

Researching at the intersections of law, literature, and legal theory, Dr Hook’s research centres on authors and artists and creative freedom. Her recent book centred on moral rights and creative freedom across the UK, Canada, and Australia. Her research looks at romanticism, postmodernism, and contemporary modes of textual production and how these ideologies intersect with legal contexts such as defamation, copyright, government regulation, regulation of the press, and other impediments to the free exchange of ideas and expression. She is currently researching how AI is repositioning our concerns of authorship, plagiarism and ownershhip of ideas and expression. She is also leading a multi-disciplinary research collaboration on social media and freedom of speech.
