Macushla worked as an assistant curator in the National Gallery of Ireland and tutored in the History of Art Department at University College Dublin before joining NCAD. Her research interests particularly lie in the history of fashion and dress, the visual culture of the eighteenth century, and in the history of collecting. She recently completed a PhD in the Department of Visual Culture at NCAD. Her thesis, 'Embroidery for Male Suiting in Lyon, 1780-1789: The Designs in the National Museum of Ireland Collection presented by J.H. Fitzhenry', explores the manufacture and design of embroidery ornamentation for male dress within the eighteenth-century Lyonnais silk industry.
