Her research investigates how prehistoric theories like matriarchal societies were weaponized to reimagine European heritage during political crises. Recent projects include a book on Baubo's mythological afterlife and co-editing special journal issues on Freudian archaeology. She engages publicly through lectures on postcolonial museum histories. Current initiatives include the 'Pasts to Come' showcase at King's Curiosity Cabinet, linking ancient pasts to speculative futures.
Her academic networks span interdisciplinary collaborations, with a focus on transcultural exchange and myth's political dimensions. While no specific grants or awards are listed, her active research groups and publications indicate sustained scholarly engagement.
