Research interests center on gendered constitutionalism, examining how courts and gender movements advance equality through constitutional frameworks. Her work challenges dominant legal discourses while analyzing judicial diversity. Current projects include transforming her PhD thesis on Kenya's two-thirds gender quota into a monograph.
Recent publications analyze African customary law's coloniality, judicial leadership in constitutional gaps, and feminist reinterpretations of landmark judgments. These works emphasize decolonial approaches and empirical legal analysis in Global South contexts.
