Her current book project, Narrating Conquest and Colonization in the Medieval Western Mediterranean, analyzes Arabic, Latin, and Romance chronicles (8th-14th centuries) to explore how shared historical frameworks emerged during periods of political and religious conflict. She specializes in premodern Islamic history, interfaith relations, gender studies, and medieval connectivity between North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Her publications reveal a focus on frontier-making in Iberian conquest narratives and Arab identity in Islamic literary traditions. She has received funding from the Andrew W.
