Her recent and forthcoming essay-length publications focus on intersectionality in contemporary young adult dystopias. Along with a colleague, she is editing a collection of essays — Raced Bodies, Erased Lives — solicited by the University Press of Mississippi via the Children’s Literature Association Publication Advisory Board, that interrogates the impulse to prioritize conversations about gender and class, while deflecting attention away from rich work on race geared toward a young adult readership. She is also at work on a single-author manuscript, tentatively titled The Hetero-Nuclear Imperative, that examines intersectional maternity in YA dystopian fiction.
