McDowell studied for her PhD as a part-time student at the Bartlett School of Planning, where she had previously earned a master's degree.[1] Supervised by Peter Cowan, she researched housing change in London.[1]
She is an economic geographer, who describes herself as an ethnographer of work and employment.[3] She wrote the first paper on feminism in the journal Society and Space,[1] while her three books on work and gender —-Capital Culture: Gender at Work in the City, which explored the role of gender in the City of London's financial services;[4]Gender, Place and Identity, which offered a broader introduction to gender and geography;[1] and Redundant Masculinities, which explored masculinity in the context of economic downturns[1] — have been major contributions to feminist geography and geographies of gender.[1] More recently, her research has explored labour and economic migration since 1945.[2]
