Her research focuses on 19th-century Colombian and Latin American literature, gender studies, and cultural historiography, with special attention to autobiographical and visual narratives. She has pioneered digital scholarship through the Soledad Acosta de Samper Digital Library (BDSAS), which rescues and digitizes works by 19th-century Colombian women writers.
Her recent publications, including articles and a 2024 monograph, analyze gender discourses, literary historiography, and transnational networks like Soledad Acosta's Parisian exile. These works intersect with digital humanities and postcolonial studies.
