Her research focuses on the effects of global processes of individuation on commensality and on the practice and ethics of food sharing among the generations.

Currently, two lines of research that focus on endocrine disruption are underway. They include 1) an assessment of estrogenicity in groundwater from rural areas in northeastern Wisconsin, in order to determine whether levels of endocrine disruptors change in response to season and proximity to farming operations; and 2) an examination of the impact of endocrine disruptors on skeletal development.
