Her research specializes in late imperial Chinese narrative traditions, examining their socio-cultural impacts through dual lenses of gender construction and visual representation. This interdisciplinary approach bridges literary analysis with historical anthropology, particularly evident in her work on Three Kingdoms adaptations. She actively contributes to pedagogical frameworks for Chinese language instruction while publishing in specialized journals covering pre-modern Chinese gender dynamics and literary history.
