Currently, she is working on her PhD thesis, which draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology to investigate the theme of passing in Ralph Ellison’s unfinished second novel Three Days Before the Shooting…. In addition, she is editing a forthcoming volume of Ellison’s “Notes” for Three Days Before the Shooting…. Her articles “‘You have to leave home to find home’: Charismatic Violence and Split Habitus in Ralph Ellison’s Unfinished Second Novel” and “‘What if movie is Bliss’s own life?’: The Symbolic Violence of the Movie in Ralph Ellison’s Unfinished Second Novel/Three Days Before the Shooting…” were published in 2018. Her research and teaching interests include African American literature and culture, relational sociology, and power relations.
