Mece’s scholarly research focuses on the relationship between globalization, contemporary art, arts higher education, transformative arts education, narratives of migration, artistic research, decolonization, and decolonizing studio arts pedagogies. These fields of inquiry are engaged through her creative, theoretical, and practical work moving into deep philosophical questions, regarding their applications and implications for arts higher education and contemporary art.

A constellation of concerns is being addressed in Mece’s doctoral dissertation and research role for the SSHRC-funded Ontario Equity Policy Project with a forthcoming book on the policy analysis, enactments, and recommendations. She is also co-editing two books for Sense Publishers B.V titled Narratives of Migration (a collection of short fiction stories and art) and Estranged Nomads (a collection of scholarly essays) focusing on colonial relations, migration, diaspora, nomadism, and their implications for arts higher education, decolonization, and contemporary art.
