Along with work in folklore and higher education, she has been active musician playing guitar and banjo as well as singing and writing music inspired by a range of American roots traditions. Her current teaching and research focus on the intersections between folklife and sustainability as encountered through practices and knowledge around local and regional foodways and related experiences and expressions of conscious ecological kinship.
