Her research centers on Old and Middle English literature within Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, examining performance studies, historical reading practices, rhetorical traditions, and gender dynamics. She investigates how medieval texts reflect societal structures through interdisciplinary lenses including women's studies and digital humanities, with particular focus on pedagogical applications in composition.
Publication analysis reveals consistent exploration of Old English religious texts like the Vercelli Homilies and Solomon and Saturn dialogues, emphasizing gendered experiences in early medieval England. Recent works bridge historical scholarship with contemporary digital annotation methods in composition pedagogy, showing evolving methodology from textual analysis to technology-enhanced teaching.
