Nalerio’s research and teaching is devoted to understanding the historical foundation of the modern/colonial world system in América, in creole Hispanophone and Anglo Atlantic Worlds, in the history of racal ideas and gender, and in cultural and artistic forms of counter-history. She works between the disciplinary formations of History, Literature, Latino/a/x American Studies, and Gender and Performance Studies.

In her research, the modern/colonial world system and imaginary is as integral to Globalisation and Western Civilization as the arts and cultural representations are to processes of decolonisation and the decolonial and transnational feminist imagination.

Her Stanford dissertation analysed representations of Decolonial Feminism and Modern Brown and Black Girls in 20th Century Women of Color Feminist writing, the genre of Autohistoriateoría, and method of Critical Fabulation.

Her teaching has focused on the Age of Encounters, the Age of Revolutions, the Rise of the Nation State, and Transatlantic slavery.
