Her research focuses on American literature, cultural memory, and the intersection of place and identity. She is the author of *Possessions: The History and Uses of Haunting in the Hudson Valley* (2003), which explores regional literary traditions and cultural history. Currently, she is researching 19th-century America’s “plant-mindedness” and its cultural obsession with botanical themes.

She actively contributes to interdisciplinary dialogue through lectures and publications on topics such as New York’s literary history and the role of cultural memory in shaping American identity.
