Her research focuses on the American prison museum as a site of religious and political formation, with a particular interest in how practices of carceral storytelling can both reinscribe and subvert linear understandings of time. Her book project engages the narrative and curatorial work of the Sing Sing Prison Museum in Ossining, New York.
