Her extensive writing lately has focused on postformal aspects of identity in a rapidly changing world (she is Editor of Springer's series by that name), political change and postformal thought, and the benefits of moving beyond binary thinking about the "wicked" problems of life that do not yield to binary analyses. Her research Lab is currently investigating the stress-reducing aspects of virtual reality of nature and cognitive abilities needed to process actual reality and virtual reality simultaneously.
