Stacey's research interests lie in the areas of confidentiality and privacy; health care ethics, including neuroethics and research ethics; and the history of medicine, including the history of midwifery and mental health care.

Stacey's favorite class at the Institute was "Psychoanalysis, Consciousness, and Neuroethics," taught by Dr. Winslade. She particularly enjoyed interpreting her classmates' dreams while receiving course credit.
