- Focus on modernist writers like Joyce, Woolf, and Bowen
- Key intersections: disability, Jewish identity, and transhumanist themes

Her research bridges modernist aesthetics with bioethical and identity discourses, particularly examining eugenics, animality, and bodily representations in early 20th-century literature. Recent publications explore transhumanism’s roots in modernist thought, disability critiques of utopian narratives, and the ethical valuations of life in dystopian fiction.
Linett’s scholarly output includes two monographs—Bodies of Modernism and Modernism, Feminism, and Jewishness—alongside several edited collections. Her work traces recurring themes of bodily marginalization, religious identity, and technological anxieties in modernist texts, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches combining literary analysis and cultural theory.
