Barlaskar's research specializes in Gothic literary traditions, with critical analyses of Ann Radcliffe and Charlotte Dacre exploring intersections of class, gender, and supernatural elements in 18th-19th century British fiction. She prioritizes developing students' critical reading skills through discursive engagement with texts.
Her publications in Gothic Studies and the Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies demonstrate sustained scholarly contributions to understanding marginalized voices and feminine archetypes within Gothic narratives.
Recognition includes:
- 2017 Excellence in Teaching Writing Award at Wayne State University (graduate teaching assistant category)
While no formal advisees or research teams are documented, her teaching philosophy actively cultivates student growth as discursive community members through writing processes grounded in rhetorical awareness and analytical rigor.
