She is the author of Nuyorican Feminist Performances: From the Café to Hip Hop Theater and co-editor of Sound Acts, Parts I and II. Since 2011, she has collaborated with Richmond residents on documentary theatre, digital archives, exhibitions, and docudramas addressing education, migration, racial struggle, gentrification, inequality, HIV/AIDS, segregation, and Latino life. Her scholarship appears in numerous leading journals.
