Wilson-Wright's research centers on ancient Israel and its neighbors, with core expertise in Northwest Semitic languages as both analytical tools and primary subjects. Her work examines religious practice through material culture, intercultural dynamics in the ancient Near East, and the physicality of writing systems. Key publications include the monographs Athtart: The Transmission and Transformation of a Goddess in the Late Bronze Age—analyzing deity characteristics through worshipper practices—and Jeremiah’s Egypt: Reflections of the Saite Period in the Book of Jeremiah, which links biblical Egypt references to Saite imperial influence. She has also produced critical editions of early alphabetic inscriptions from Serabit el-Khadem and developed machine learning applications for Biblical Hebrew analysis.
