She specializes in the philosophy of art, especially film theory, and ethics, including moral psychology. Her recent work in ethics has focused on community and personal relationships.

Since completing her doctoral dissertation, Empathy at the Intersection, she has presented her work on the crossover between art and ethics for universities and conferences around the globe.
