Dr. Stambler's research centers on postcolonial literature at the intersection of cultural memory studies and human rights politics. Her current book project, The Social Rights Imaginary of the Contemporary Postcolonial Novel, analyzes how 21st-century African and Caribbean fiction reconfigures human rights discourse to challenge economic imperialism. Expertise spans African/Caribbean literary studies, memory theory, and novelistic responses to global inequity.

Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary analysis of human rights narratives in African fiction and postcolonial linguistics, reflecting her methodological fusion of literary criticism with socio-political critique.
