She focuses her research on removing barriers for two groups: persons with disabilities and applicants with a criminal record. Research related to persons with disabilities focuses on access to accommodations, such as leave and telework, under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Research related to ex-offenders focuses on employer policies and state law restrictions which have a disparate impact on protected groups. Her most recent project looks at accommodations which allegedly conflict with the rights of other employees or the processes established in a collective bargaining agreement, and includes extensive review of court decisions which consider such conflicts in determining whether an accommodation is reasonable or imposes an undue burden on the employer.
