Ogden’s research focuses on the regulation of sensory perception in literature, narrative techniques in Gothic fiction, and the mechanical imagination in early American works. Her scholarship interrogates how fiction interacts with scientific and philosophical discourses, particularly in 18th- and 19th-century contexts.
Her publications often analyze historical novels through interdisciplinary lenses, emphasizing themes like deception, the supernatural, and Enlightenment-era mechanical thought. A recurring trend in her work is the study of how fictional constructs reflect or challenge contemporary understandings of cognition and reality.
