Cooke’s research and teaching interests include human information behavior, critical cultural information studies, fake news/misinformation/disinformation, and diversity and social justice in librarianship (with an emphasis on infusing them into LIS education and pedagogy).

Teaching
Whenever possible, learning should be relevant and accessible to learners. Content should be manageable and digestible, and hopefully, learners will be able to recognize the applicability of the course content to their lives and their work. To that end, Cooke believes that active, participatory, and hands-on interaction makes the learning environment more interesting, enjoyable and more relevant to the learner.
She also believes that content without reflection and consideration prevents the formation of knowledge. Learners should be prodded to really think about the content and why it's appropriate to their lives.
Teaching and learning are lifelong and collaborative processes.
