Susan Burchová sa zameriava na štúdium tém „na okraji“, najmä na historický dopad rasy, etnického pôvodu, postihnutia, pohlavia a materiálnej kultúry na životné skúsenosti v Amerike, Rusku i inde. Jej práca skúma, ako tieto faktory formujú životy ľudí a ako sa odrážajú v amerických štúdiách a porovnávacích štúdiách rasy a etnického pôvodu. Zaujíma sa o to, ako sa tieto dynamiky prejavujú v rôznych kultúrach a históriách.
Angry Tanka
Exploring the necessity of expressing anger, this collection highlights the power of angry tanka poetry as a direct and honest outlet for emotional truths. Rather than resorting to violence or passive-aggressive behavior, these poems confront feelings head-on, providing a cathartic release that clears the air. By embracing the rawness of anger, readers are encouraged to find peace and joy in life after turmoil, making way for renewal and emotional clarity.
Drawing on oral history interviews, correspondence, material objects, and archival sources, Susan Burch reframes the histories of institutionalized people and the places that held them. In so doing, Committed expands the boundaries of Native American history, disability studies, and US social and cultural history generally.
