She investigates how sexual identities are discursively constructed and transformed under sociopolitical conditions. Her teaching emphasizes analytical writing, argumentation, and stylistic precision.
Her forthcoming article, "Reaping the Bloody Harvest: Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the US Imperial Project," published in Feminist Formations, exemplifies her interdisciplinary approach, connecting military policy with broader imperial narratives through rhetorical analysis. The work engages themes of gender, power, and national identity, reflecting her expertise in critical discourse and queer theory.
