Her research program investigates the impact of global economic shifts on vulnerable populations, with particular focus on immigrants, migrants, refugees, and their families. Key areas of expertise include:
- Anthropology and Urban anthropology
- Globalization and Diaspora studies

Spitzer's interdisciplinary approach bridges sociocultural anthropology with public health frameworks to analyze systemic inequalities in transnational contexts. She maintains active research on remittance economies, cultural adaptation processes, and the gendered dimensions of migration health.
