Her dissertation and book project, "The Rainbow Nation and the Gays it Excludes," explores postcolonial statecraft in the context of increasingly polarized contemporary global politics around asylum and gay rights. She has also explored her research and teaching interests through projects on the sociological construction of knowledge on sexual violence, on sexual assault on college U.S. campuses, and on German efforts to evade responsibility for its colonial genocide in southern Africa (1904-1908). - ## Roles [Faculty and Teaching Staff](/roles/faculty)
