Her research examines memory politics in postcolonial and post-socialist literatures. Her essays on cultural memory, trauma, postcolonial studies, and human rights have appeared in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, Life Writing, parallax, Biography, and various book collections. Her current book project theorizes the interplay of cosmopolitanism and abjection within the context of global terrorism, and focuses in particular on the figure of the enemy combatant. She is also the co-editor, with Eddy Kent (University of Alberta) of Negative Cosmopolitanism (McGill-Queen’s University Press, forthcoming), a volume of essays which investigate the relationship between cosmopolitanism, neoimperialism, and the unequal effects of a globalized political economy.
