Her work addresses issues in feminist border politics, cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism and immigration in an age of globalization. She has presented in many interdisciplinary conferences, such as the Latina Feminism Roundtable and in public "community-oriented" lectures on issues of women, immigration and philosophy.
