Lansky's research centers on the intersection of literature and substance use, with particular focus on Ernest Hemingway's portrayal of alcohol and women's experiences with drinking in contemporary fiction like Bonnie Jo Campbell's works. Her creative scholarship extends to fiction writing, exemplified by her 2018 novel Suburban Heathens which explores similar thematic territory through narrative form.
Analysis of her 2020-2022 publications reveals consistent methodological approaches combining close textual reading with cultural studies frameworks, primarily examining drinking behaviors in Southern and Midwestern American contexts. These works demonstrate interdisciplinary rigor through contributions to specialized venues like Literature and Medicine and English Language Notes.
