She has additional research competencies in the history of philosophy, ethics (including professional ethics), philosophy and literature. As an interdisciplinary researcher at Texas A&M University, she also has research competencies in Nineteenth Century American Literature (especially the American Renaissance) and Literary Theory. 

Outside of research, writing, and teaching, Ms. Burke can often be found running (even in the Texas heat!), experimenting with new recipes, or exploring art museums.
