A commitment to feminism and decolonization as method and praxis as well as object of study informs her current research and all of her ongoing research partnerships under the banner of Just Powers. Her publications include, among many others, the edited collection Petrocultures: Oil, Politics, Cultures with Adam Carlson and Imre Szeman (2017) and the short film Petro-Mama: Mothering in a Crude World (2015).
