Her teaching and research interests include race and gender in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, migration, and bilingual education. Her research studies race and gender in bilingual children’s television programming during the late 20th century, particularly through Aida Barrera’s Carrascolendas, a bilingual children’s show produced in Austin, Texas during the 1970s. Further, her research examines Mexican American women’s leadership and agency through Barrera’s narrative and creation of Carrascolendas.
