Davis’s areas of expertise include 19th century U.S. history, 19th century Hawai’i,  and modern 中国. She is particularly interested in the intersection of race and the U.S. memorial landscape; the impact of indigenous movements on U.S. visual culture; and transnational histories in general.

“Our histories haven’t always included the perspectives of all who shaped the past and contributed to the world we share today. This impacts our clarity about who we have been, affecting our collective memories, our worldviews, and thus our possible futures. I find it exciting to take part in the work to recover and amplify these previously marginalized, 隐藏的, or ignored stories and perspectives in service of truth.”
