Research interests center on interdisciplinary collaborations between art and sociology, particularly examining:

• Intersectionality in cultural institutions
• Disability access frameworks
• Academic labor conditions
• Visual narratives of migration and embodiment

His recent work emphasizes dialogue-based methodologies and participatory formats, as evidenced by the 2024 publication in Mortality co-authored with Yasmin Gunaratnam. While no formal awards are documented, his practice integrates critical theory and community-driven projects like Canvas(s) (2016–2017), which explores informal economies through sculpture and installation.

Eisa’s collaborative artistic practice with Lloyd Corporation and his institutional roles highlight a sustained engagement with social justice, academic activism, and the democratization of cultural production.
