Her book, Performing China: Virtue, Commerce, and Orientalism in Eighteenth-Century England (2011), analyzed the early China-mania that overtook European consumers of literature and luxury goods. Over the past decade, her scholarship has explored the politics and aesthetics of chinoiserie, as well as cross-species encounters in poetry and art. Her recent publications on blackness, abolition, and Atlantic slavery have appeared in Early American Literature, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, British Art Studies, and The Journal of the Walters Art Museum.
