Her work focuses on African American literature, book history, and print culture at the turn of the twentieth century. She is the creator of Putting Them on the Map, a digital humanities project that visualizes the Colored Co-operative Publishing Company's network of subscription agents. She is also a general editor for the Broadview Anthology of American Literature, a co-editor of Broadview's edition of Pauline Hopkins's Hagar's Daughter, and the author of Pauline Hopkins and the American Dream: An African American Writer's (Re) Visionary Gospel of Success. She is working on a case study of the Colored Co-operative, tentatively titled "Black Books Matter."
