With expertise in the social sciences at the cross-road between urban sociology and urban criminology and in addressing questions regarding home, housing and communities, Dr Magali Peyrefitte is interested in issues of social harm and social justice in the city. In recent years, her more recent research projects have been focusing on the socio-economic and cultural changes that are transforming the suburbs of London. Overall, her work has been focusing on the multi-faceted aspects of gentrification and regeneration in London- in Soho as well as in the suburban boroughs of Barnet, Harrow and Brent - and their impact on local communities. She has also paid particular attention to the question of Social Value and the role of the VCSE sector in urban regeneration projects.

She has worked on a number of research projects using visual and creative methods to collect and to find alternative and artful ways of disseminating her research in order to engage a wide range of audiences notably using photography to do so. For instance, she organised a portrait exhibition as part of a project on women in suburbia in France: ().

Finally, her teaching is directly informed by her research interests while also being committed to teaching focused research. She has subsequently been working on a pedagogic scholarship published in international peer-reviewed journals and built around evaluations and reflections of her teaching.
