She is also affiliated with journals like Gender, Place & Culture and networks such as the DFG's 'Feministische Geographien des New Materialism'.
Publications span over 60 entries, with recent work analyzing reproductive justice, multisensory research, and the global bioeconomy. She advocates for policy-informed research, particularly on transnational reproductive markets and epigenetic geographies in agriculture.
