Research Interests: Maucione's work focuses on Critical Race Theory and Space/Place Theory, particularly how these frameworks challenge hegemonic narratives in literature and media. She investigates how spatial dynamics in works like True Detective reflect racial complexities and how dystopian fiction engages with socioeconomic critiques.

Publications: Recent articles demonstrate her engagement with counterhegemonic spatial analysis (2020), racial dichotomies in television (2018), and teaching methodologies for literary cartographies (2017). Her 2014 study of Leslie Marmon Silko's work established foundational research on mythological resistance in Native American literature.
