Her research explores intersections of galanterie, queerness, and race in early modern France, alongside projects like a digital, bilingual anthology of nouvelles from Le Mercure galant. She also investigates modes of femininity under the Ancien régime, youth and gender fluidity in French literature, and nation-building through literary texts.
The article she published in 2023, Queer Community Strategies: Diversity and Honnêteté in Choisy’s Histoire de la Marquise-Marquis de Banneville, reflects her focus on queer histories and bodies in early modern contexts. Her work aligns with broader trends in gender studies and digital humanities, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to historical narratives.
