Current research interests lie in the cultural politics of affect and especially as they relate to the cultural politics of the body, racism, postcolonialism and sexualities. She is actively engaged in Feast, the Adelaide Lesbian and Gay Cultural Festival and continues to work in aspects of the visual and performing arts.
