Burnham's research spans cultural studies with emphasis on film and popular culture, contemporary poetry, and critical theory grounded in psychoanalysis and Marxism. His work critically examines digital culture, climate grief, pandemic responses, and intersections of racist violence with theoretical frameworks, notably through analyses of Žižek and Jameson. Recent scholarship integrates Lacanian psychoanalysis with environmental crisis discourse and explores TikTok's dialectical implications.
