She has published 11 books and 98 articles (presses include Halstead, Ashgate, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Michigan, Arden, Palgrave, Routledge, University of Western Australia Press, University of Sydney Press, Benjamin Press), her latest edited book, with Associate Editor Amrita Ramanan, being Diversity, Inclusion and Representation in Contemporary Dramaturgy: Case Studies From the Field, published by Routledge Press in April 2020. For her research, Philippa has been awarded many fellowships and scholarships, including a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Rockefeller Fellowship, a Walter and Eliza Hall Scholarship, a Commonwealth Scholarship, and a Bly Award for Innovation in Dramaturgy from the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas.
