Demoiny's research explores how race and whiteness are addressed in social studies teacher education, with a particular emphasis on local histories of Muscogee Creek Indian removal and enslavement. Her pedagogical approaches include threshold concept theory, counter-monuments, free spaces, and text sets to destabilize dominant narratives and foster critical consciousness among preservice teachers.
Her recent publications analyze critical citizenship frameworks, Latinx representation in curricula, and connections between white emotionalities and educational practices. She actively engages with community organizations, serving as Education Committee Chair for the Lee County Remembrance Project and designing professional development programs like the Pebble Hill Difficult History Summer Camp.
