Her research intersects literary studies, philosophy, and critical theory, focusing on intertextuality, modernist aesthetics, and sociocultural dynamics. She explores how Darwinian evolution, Nietzschean critique, Freudian psychoanalysis, and Bakhtinian dialogism shape literary engagement with cultural discourses. Her work examines James Joyce’s textual strategies (e.g., Ulysses, Finnegans Wake) and broader trends in twentieth-century experimental writing.
Recent publications analyze Joyce’s intertextual practices, translation theory in modernist works, and contemporary adaptations of literary form. She contributes to open-access platforms like The Conversation on topics such as Rachel Cusk’s Parade and Annie Ernaux’s The Years, emphasizing their sociopolitical implications. As a multilingual scholar (fluent in French), she engages with European literary traditions and cross-cultural dialogues.
