She critically analyzes how language ideologies shape educational experiences and how programs can better serve linguistically diverse communities, often taking a critical perspective on citizenship education and national identity formation.

Professor Gordon's publications reveal a consistent scholarly trajectory focused on language learning in immigrant and refugee contexts, with particular attention to Southeast Asian communities, especially Laotian Americans. Her work spans sociolinguistics, educational anthropology, and teacher education, demonstrating how language learning intersects with gender, trauma, and national identity. Over time, her research has evolved from examining gendered language socialization to exploring the impact of trauma on language learning among refugees, and more recently analyzing citizenship education processes.
