In 2009 she was the recipient of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts Award from the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium; in 2012, the triennial Edition Award from the Society for the Study of American Women Writers, with Sarah L.

Sloan Foundation book grant in the Public Understanding of Science, Technology, and Economics Program to support her work on Political Science Fictions after 'Frankenstein': Mary Shelley and the Politics of Making Artificial Life and Intelligence.[1] This is the subject of her fourth solo-authored book, Artificial Life After Frankenstein, to be published in December 2020.[3] She has also edited the two-volume set, Portraits of Wollstonecraft, which will be released by Bloomsbury Philosophy in February 2021.[4]
