Her research examines how Peruvian and Mexican female poets (e.g., Rocío Silva Santisteban, Coral Bracho) and performance artists like Regina José Galindo represent sexual violence and political trauma. Key themes include feminist discourse, testimonial literature, and the interplay between art and activism in post-dictatorship contexts.

Her publications analyze transnational feminist narratives, body politics, and the intersection of poetry with music and multimedia. Recent work explores how artistic practices document historical violence and marginalized voices.

Her advising and grants focus on fostering critical dialogues between literature and social justice, though specific grant details are not disclosed. She is actively involved in interdisciplinary collaborations and feminist academic networks.
