Her research explores the intersection of subculture studies, feminist studies, and rhetorical theory. She has published essays in Exclusions of Feminist Thought: Challenging the Boundaries of Womanhood, edited by Mary Brewer, The Post-Subcultures Reader, edited by David Muggleton and Rupert Weinzierl, and The Handbook on Teaching Literacy through the Communicative, Visual and Performing Arts, edited by Jim Flood, Diane Lapp, and Shirley Brice Heath. Currently, she is working on a book manuscript, High Tech/Low Tech: The Politics and Poetics of DIY Practices, a rhetorical and textual analysis of the cultural production of zines and other handmade objects in youth-oriented women's subcultures.
