Dixon has been involved in multiple projects predominately focusing on researching the role of school choice and potential solutions for achieving Education For All in Asia and Africa.
Following the success of the project both Tooley and Dixon lead on further Templeton funded research that aimed to look at 'education in conflict zones' with a focus on African schools (2011-2013).
Her last research project was funded by the ESRC focusing on Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and identifying high ability and creative children in poor areas of the Kinondoni District.
