Her research bridges transnational modernist women writers and critical theory, focusing on intersections of feminism, posthumanism, affect theory, and postcolonialism. She explores themes like wonder and wander, race and ethnicity, and ecocriticism through works by Elizabeth Bowen, Virginia Woolf, Zora Neale Hurston, and Leida Kibuvits. Recent publications highlight her expertise in Estonian-UK comparative studies and decolonial approaches to English literature.
She has contributed to journals such as Feminist Modernist Studies, Journal of Baltic Studies, and Keel ja Kirjandus, with a forthcoming monograph Strange Intimacies (Edinburgh University Press, 2025). Her awards include the Estonian Research Council’s postdoctoral fellowship and a 2016 Northumbria scholarship.
Eret is keen to supervise BA and MA theses on comparative studies between Estonia and Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, or England. She has served in administrative roles, including organizing conferences like BodyWorks and editing The Kelvingrove Review.
