Her research spans British and American literature with concentrated expertise in nineteenth-century studies, gothic fiction, and interdisciplinary approaches to bodies/corpses, science in literature, folk traditions, and gender dynamics. She integrates medical humanities and cultural history to examine how literature reflects societal attitudes toward mental health, scientific discourse, and marginalized identities, particularly through Victorian and Romantic-era texts.
Recent publications reveal a cohesive scholarly trajectory exploring Charles Dickens's cultural legacy and Edgar Allan Poe's psychological narratives. Her work analyzes female insanity in Dickensian contexts, pandemic impacts on literary institutions, and taboo themes like incest in gothic fiction, demonstrating methodological innovation through intersections of gender studies, medical humanities, and digital curation. These contributions appear in specialized forums including Dickens Quarterly and Sexuality and Culture, emphasizing literature's relevance to contemporary social issues.
