She is the immediate past president of the Australian Historical Association.A review said of one of Woollacott's books, "Woollacott has written a stimulating and thought-provoking study of the nature and dynamics of settler colonialism in the southern colonies.
It sets an agenda for new research and will prompt historians to re-examine many of their assumptions about colonial society in Australia."
