 Professor Kane's research and teaching interests encompass inequalities of race, class, gender and sexuality; gender and family; sociology of childhood; research methods; public opinion; social psychology; community-based research; and community-engaged learning.

Some of her recent publications focus on parents preferences for sons and daughters (2009); parental monitoring of children's gender conformity (2009), predictors of support for gender-related affirmative action (2009), queer student support for queer politics (2008), hegemonic masculinity and parental accomplishment of gender for sons (2006), and public opinion toward feminism (2004).

Her current research projects include a book on how parents reproduce and resist gendered childhoods, an analysis of how sociology students understand the role of community-based research in the discipline, and a textbook on gender and sexuality in childhood.
