Several of her articles on wilderness have appeared in journals such as Works and Days and Interdisciplinary Humanities. Her article “Claiming Alaska: Legislation and Différend on the ‘Last Frontier’” was published by the University of Paris-Sorbonne’s series Frontières. She also has a book chapter titled “(Un)Mapping the Wild: Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, Thoreau’s Walden, and the Textuality of Wilderness” forthcoming in an edited collection.
