Her research critically investigates 20th and 21st century German literature, film, and theater through frameworks of nationalism, post-colonialism, and globalization. Current work centers on the Reunification versus Reconciliation project, which analyzes literature and film in post-wall Germany and post-apartheid South Africa to explore alternative public spheres and tensions between nation/state formations.

Dr. Brust's scholarship systematically addresses gender and race dynamics within European and African visual culture, emphasizing transnational dialogues in contemporary contexts.
