She critically analyzes how fashion reflects and shapes political ideologies, emotional responses, and societal anxieties.
Her recent and forthcoming publications, including articles in Surveillance and Society, Fashion, Style and Popular Culture, and Res Rhetorica, demonstrate a strong thematic focus on identity, visual rhetoric, and political symbolism in fashion.
