Research: Focuses on philosophical archaeology, the archive’s relationship to law, and the interplay between historiography, ontology, and legal forms. Key interests include equity, trusts, neoliberal economics, and biopolitics through law-literature intersections. Her 2016 PhD thesis compared jurisprudential models with Foucault’s archaeological method, and her 2018 article Reopening the Archive explores legal ontology via hypomnesis theory.
