Her primary research interests concern the intersections of history, gender, and transnationalism in contemporary Latina/o American and Caribbean literatures and in literatures of the African diaspora after 1965. Her interdisciplinary collection Dialogues Across Diasporas: Conversations Between Women Writers, Scholars, and Activists of Africana and Latina Descent, co-edited with Sarah Ryan, was published by Lexington Books in 2012 under the aegis of their Critical Africana Series.
