Macushla has 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 N.C.A.D. Her research interests particularly lie in the visual culture of the eighteenth-century, and in the history of collecting. She is currently completing a Ph.D. in the Department of Visual Culture at N.C.A.D. 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.
