Her current research focuses on questions of bodily integrity and the unequal politics of protection and security of bodies, see Bodies, un-protected, 2021–22, with Mousonturm, Frankfurt. She wrote and co-edited several books on the topic such as Breathe. Critical Investigations into the Inequalities of Life (due 2023, edited with J. Janša); Bodies of Evidence: Ethics, Aesthetics, and Politics of Movement (2018, with G. Ertem); and Resilient Bodies, Residual Effects: Artistic Articulations of Borders and Collectivity in Lebanon and Palestine (2019).
