Edited collections include the Routledge Handbook on the Lived Experience of Ideology (James Martel, Naveed Mansouri and Connal Parsley, 2024), Manual for Conspiracy (2011), and Waiting for the Barbarians: A Tribute to Edward Said (Müge Gürsoy Sökmen, 2008). In 2016 she received the Association for the Study of Law Culture and the Humanities Julien Mezey Dissertation Award and was a CAPES/PRINT Visiting Professor at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 2022.
