Marsha's work centres on transnational feminisms and the arts, and she brings decolonial, race-critical, queer and ecofeminist methodologies together to explore the potential of the arts to play a key role in fostering greater social and ecological justice. She is particularly interested in how art intersects with ‘visceral cosmopolitanism’, concepts of citizenship and belonging in a ‘postmigratory’ world, ecological thinking, Indigenous worlding and non-normative ethics/aesthetics. Marsha configures these interests, in shorthand, as how transnational feminisms and the arts facilitate ‘thinking, imagining and inhabiting – earthwide and otherwise’.
