My research currently focuses on the intersection of interreligious dialogue and feminist discourse, with emphasis on identity politics and hybridity. As well, Islamic feminisms, narrative discourse, and women's performative autobiographies are key to my research. I am writing my dissertation, "Feminist Dialogical Activism: A Hybrid Space for New Interreligious Identities."
