She is trained in philosophy and moral theology, but her scholarly interests remain multi-disciplinary. In her writing she attempts to make a fresh approach to perennial moral issues by drawing upon the insights of systematic theology, sacramental theology, and literature. She recently finished a manuscript on medieval theology and poetry in late medieval England. Her current work on emotion organizes and integrates the insights of philosophy and psychology into a capacious Thomistic framework. Her writing appears in The Heythrop Journal and The International Journal for Systematic Theology and is forthcoming in The Journal of Religious Ethics and New Blackfriars.
