She is also the co-founder and coordinator of the research group POST IT “thinking racial and postcolonial difference”.

Her research interests are in the areas of poststructuralist, feminist and queer theory, postcolonial and critical race theory, with a focus on issues of equality and difference, politics of (anti)racism, discursive, visual and narrative production of racialized and (post)colonial difference.
