Her research focuses on the intersections of literature, philosophy, and ethics, particularly through deconstruction (Derrida), the poetry of Paul Celan and Dan Pagis, Holocaust memory, identity, and translation. She explores how poetic language bears witness to trauma and constructs ethical subjectivity. Her work spans literary criticism, philosophical inquiry, and public scholarship in Jewish thought and post-Holocaust discourse.
McCullough's publications and presentations over the past 15 years reflect a sustained engagement with Holocaust representation, Derridean ethics, poetic testimony, and the philosophical dimensions of memory and identity. Her work frequently bridges literary analysis with continental philosophy, focusing on the ethical responsibilities of language and selfhood in the aftermath of catastrophe.
