Her scholarly work spans phenomenology, feminist theory, critical race theory, disability studies, literature, and queer theory. She has authored monographs including Refiguring the Ordinary (2008) and Body Images: Embodiment as Intercorporeality (1999), and co-edited 50 Concepts for a Critical Phenomenology (2020). Her research examines how sexist, racist, ageist and ableist understandings of "normal bodies" shape lived experience.
