She is the author of Native Speakers: Ella Deloria, Zora Neale Hurston, Jovita González, and the Poetics of Culture (University of Texas Press, 2008) which explored the ways in which women of color negotiated their roles as native ethnographers and developed narrative tactics to decolonize knowledge. Most recently, her work has centered on extending this feminist of color genealogy into the 1960s and 1970s through Chicana por mi Raza, a national digital humanities project that seeks to create an online interactive archive of oral histories and material culture documenting Chicana Feminist praxis from 1965-1985. This project, along with her work with El Museo del Norte (a community engagement project in partnership with activist and public historian, Elena Herrada) has to allowed her to rethink the politics of scholarly production and to re-imagine its possible “publics.”
