Her research examines how colorism intersects with identity negotiation, educational access, and life chances across global contexts—particularly in India and West Africa—where she investigates skin bleaching practices and the psychological consequences of digitized beauty imagery. This work connects racialized beauty standards to economic and social capital formation while analyzing transnational circuits of colorism.
Recent publications reveal evolving emphases from foundational colorism studies toward applied higher education research, including student basic needs programs and institutional diversity frameworks, while maintaining core focus on racialized beauty's sociological dimensions.
