Hodali’s work interrogates intersections of space, culture, and ideology. His recent publications in Studies in Romanticism, South Atlantic Quarterly, and Political Concepts explore themes like necropolitics, cartographic resistance, and critiques of colonial spatiality. His scholarship bridges historical and contemporary debates in literary analysis and digital humanities.

Current projects include mapping affiliations in the Global South and reinterpreting Romantic-era geographies through decolonial frameworks. Though no formal advising or awards are listed, Hodali contributes to evolving discourses on cultural theory and spatial critique.
