REPRESENTATIVE PUBLICATIONS

Books

• Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the Public: Women and the "Re-privatization" of Labor (Palgrave, 2010).
This book argues that the critical language and arguments that feminist theory developed can now offer a response to the destruction of public life happening on a global scale, through the rise of neoliberalism, the privatization of labor, and the escalation of militarism.
 

• Policing Narratives and the State of Terror (SUNY Press, 2009). This book examines the recent War on Terror and the increasing privatization of international policing through the lens of detective fiction and security and espionage narratives.
   
  
• World, Class, Women: Global Literature, Education, and Feminism (Routledge, 2004). This book looks at the breakdown between the private and public spheres of modern neoliberal power, particularly in how it relates to feminism.
   
  
• Strange Love, Or How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Market, (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002). This book explores how popular culture, corporate curricula, multicultural and postcolonial literature, and film sell neoliberal policy to the public through narratives of compassion. Co-written with Dr. Kenneth J. Saltman, School of Education, DePaul University.
   
  
• Infertilities: Exploring Fictions of Barren Bodies, (University of Minnesota Press, 2001). Applying feminist theory to the critique of globalization, this book looks at the ways Darwin's studies on sterility between species influence representations of female sexuality in postcolonial studies, fictions of empire, Latin American literature, and ethnographic film.
