Dr Cunliffe's research interests focus on the types of damage sustained by archaeological sites in the Middle East in peace and war, and developing ways of identifying and recording the threats using satellite imagery and social media. This work has primarily focused on Syria and Iraq. As a part of this, she is also interested in civil-military relations before, during, and after conflict. Dr Cunliffe joins the Centre for Military Ethics in order to produce a Blue Shield/Cultural Heritage Property Protection online module.
