Analysis of her 2021 publication reveals concentrated scholarly engagement with racial justice in emerging technologies, particularly examining how automated systems perpetuate historical discrimination patterns. This work anchors her within critical legal studies of technology, emphasizing solutions-oriented research that bridges theoretical critique with practical abolitionist tools. Her methodology combines legal analysis with sociological and ethical perspectives on technological development.
