My research and teaching focus on the socio-cultural study of sport, physical activity, and embodiment. My interests include the history of women's baseball, the global governance of sport, physical culture in India, and the cultural meanings of yoga. 

My current research projects include:

• Tracing the globalization and post-Westernization of contemporary women's baseball  
• The history of the short-lived Indian Grand Prix
• Feminist framings of menstruation within various yoga traditions

I am also the co-founder of the Miami Women’s Baseball Club and contribute to the team as a faculty advisor, coach, and sometimes-infielder.
